	Story Behind the Song This song was written around 1992 by Joe and Rip. Rip was going through some extreme hardships and some of that is reflected in this song. Lyrics Yesterdays headlines, all read the same Covert action taken, in another man’s name Grinning faces, on hearts of stone They pick your pockets, and throw you a bone Hands held out, they steal your trust When the race is over, it was all a bust Swindlers run rampant, living high off your sweat Blind to your desperation, no justice is what we get Chorus Well it’s the act of war, against the common man While thousands die at the shake of a hand It’s the act of war, the ultimate sin A capital crime, where nobody wins Some lie rusted, some lie dead Others search for a place, to lay their weary head At night I here them scream, crying out in need While fat cats lie sleeping, on beds made of greed Chorus Again and again till the end Over and over and over again I helped a friend, I did what I could As I walked away, did I do any good I lie awake, till the break of day I wonder if I’ll see him, will he make another day I wonder?
