Ground Zero Lyrics by Chris Cornell

Scream

2008

[Intro]
When it all falls down
And the law don't count
And it don't seem fair
And the people don't care
The speaker on?
Yeah, you like that?

[Verse 1]
When it all falls down
And the law don't count
And it don't seem fair
And the people don't care

[Chorus]
Where in the world you gonna go?
Who in the world you gonna hold?
When all the world keeps holding on at ground zero
We'll end it all with war

[Verse 2]
When it all falls down
And we almost drown
Will they still send help?
I guess it's every man for himself

[Chorus]
Where in the world you gonna go?
Who in the world you gonna hold?
When all the world keeps holding on at ground zero
We'll end it all with

[Bridge]
The war that rages, over the ages
You can't erase it once you spill the
Blood on the concrete,river of deceit
Will you be around?

[Verse 1]
When it all falls down
And the law don't count
And it don't seem fair
And the people don't care

[Chorus]
Where in the world you gonna go?
Who in the world you gonna hold?
When all the world keeps holding on at ground zero
We'll end it all with war
