about

a wonderful arrangement here by Bob McAlpine - look for influence from Miles Davis with our version of this thought provoking tune from Sting and The Police.

lyrics

How can you say that you're not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity

Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party
Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
'Cause this is what we've seen

Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
ahah w-o-h,

w-o-h
woh, oh, woh oh
w-o-h
way oh, way oh...

- SOLO -

Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world, who knows what to do
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
woh, wo-oh
Driv-en
Driv-en ya-a-a
w-o-h, driven to tears

- BASS SOLO -

What to do, w-o-h
...eeeeaaahhh-w--o-h
