Close Enough

There's war going on on the other side of the world
There's fire in the hills of Malibu
There's a hurricane poundin' on the Gulf Coast again
There's a virus on its way to you

We've got politicians pushing their promises
We've got puppets in positions of power
Soldier's on his way off to Baghdad yet again where the bombs are going off by the hour

Tell me is it hittin'
Tell me it it hittin'
Close enough to home for you yet?
Close enough to home for you yet?

We've got aliens cookin' in the kitchen
We've got bigots on the right side of the aisle
Writers holdin' picket signs have put down their pens
Somewhere a beggar's beggin' for a smile
For a smile

Now, tell me is it hittin'
Tell me is it hittin'
Close enough to home for you?

They keep spillin' blood for oil
They keep mistakin' greed for gain
They keep paying politics for fear like it's some stupid game

Don't they know that life is precious?
Can't they see how hate is strong?
Don't they know that love is all ya need?
Only love will carry on

Now, tell me is it hittin'?
Tell me is it hittin', ya'll?
Tell me is it hittin' close enough to home?
Close enough to home
Close enough to home
Close enough to home
Close enough to home
