September 11
Well, it was hell in heaven
A hell of a day
In the US of A

Terror hit the World Trade Center
In the New York City
And the Pentagon
In the city of Washington

I saw it on TV
I thought that I was watching a movie
Like it was World War 3
In the land of brave and home of the free

Where was 007?
September 11
And Superman
When they called 911

Now there's a war against terror, terror
Terror fighting terror, terror, terror
Oh, what a horror, terror, terror
Terror fighting terror, terror, terror
Oh, what a horror

Terror, terror, terror
We must have a better tomorrow
We must have a better tomorrow now

September 11
Another war in heaven
And all who were there
Said it was a living nightmare

Now for every action
There has to be a reaction
This is the law of nature
Now we're living in the future

So when you're digging a ditch
(September 11)
I think you better dig two
(September 11)

One for the other man
(September 11)
And one for you
(September 11)

And when you're pointing a finger
When three points back at you
Be sure your hands are clean
I think you know what I mean

'Cause when you war against terror, terror
It's terror fighting terror, terror, terror
Oh, what a horror, terror, terror
Biological terror, terror

Environmental terror, terror, terror
We must have a better tomorrow
We must have a better tomorrow now

11th of September
The world will always remember
The year 2001
A new era begun

This was a wake-up call
To nations great and small
Terror been with you all the time
But you never paid it no mind

Oh, it's the Armageddon
(September 11)
A clash of civilization
(September 11)

With terror fighting terror
(September 11)
Tell me who can be the hero
(September 11)

Hey, I read it in Revelation
(Revelation)
That there would be lamentation
(Revelation)

A tale of God and the devil
But good must overcome evil
(September 11)

So when you fight against terror, terror
Terror fighting terror, terror, terror
By the government, terror, terror
On the resident, terror, terror

Terror fighting terror, terror, terror, terror
We must have a better tomorrow now
