    Fear begins to vanish when we realise
    That countries are just lines
    Drawn in the sand with a stick

    Enter Shikari - …Meltdown

      And similarly, from Tool’s “Right In Two”:

      Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over
      pieces of the ground
      Silly monkeys
      Give them thumbs, they make a club
      to beat their brother down
      How they’ve survived so misguided is a mystery
      Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
      to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here

        Or Outernational’s “Fighting Song:”

        Look down at our planet from the heavens above

        See it as it is, see it as it is

        No borders or banks, no wars or tanks

        No nations! No nations!
