\nWars about hate<\/span>
\nTalk peace & listen<\/span>
\nBefore it\u2019s too late<\/span><\/p>\n
\nLet\u2019s go have some fun<\/span>
\nNuke a few gooks<\/span>
\nAnd let the blood run<\/span><\/p>\n
\nSome won & some lost<\/span>
\nWhy try it again?<\/span>
\nThink of the cost<\/span><\/p>\nfight to the last<\/q><\/span>
\nThere will be no surrender<\/span>
\nThen send off the body bags<\/span>
\nReturn to sender.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nIn a desert that\u2019s sunny<\/span>
\nNo, this one\u2019s for real<\/span>
\nIt\u2019s all about money<\/span><\/p>\n
\nIn pursuit of a dream<\/span>
\nWhile the fat cats stay home<\/span>
\nAnd skim off the cream<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWhere satellites fly<\/span>
\nMaybe the birds know<\/span>
\nWho owns the sky<\/span><\/p>\n
\nOur cause is right<\/span>
\nSo unfurl the flag<\/span>
\nTo the death we will fight<\/span><\/p>\n
\nTo eat cake or bread,<\/span>
\nWars about colour,<\/span>
\nWhite against Red<\/span><\/p>\n
\nDo we find common ground?<\/span>
\nOr just take a breather<\/span>
\nBefore the next round<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWars about ownership,<\/span>
\nFight for our land,<\/span>
\nSaving our country<\/span>
\nOr acres of sand.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWhat did we gain?<\/span>
\nLives lost for what?<\/span>
\nWe must be insane<\/span><\/p>\n
\nBelieve it or not<\/span>
\nGod\u2019s on your side<\/span>
\nNot mine, I\u2019m a Trot.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWe say we believe<\/span>
\nSo why create havoc?<\/span>
\nWhy make the world grieve?<\/span><\/p>\nNo women or children<\/q>?<\/span><\/p>\n
\nOr is it our Mother?<\/span>
\nSister gainst sister<\/span>
\nBrother kills brother<\/span><\/p>\n
\nOr are we more Abel?<\/span>
\nPut down the gun<\/span>
\nGet round the table<\/span><\/p>\n
\nBuild more & more galleons<\/span>
\nThe Lord\u2019s on the side<\/span>
\nOf the biggest battalions<\/span><\/p>\n
\nHeroes, but why?<\/span>
\nAnd what of the innocent<\/span>
\nWere they ready to die?<\/span><\/p>\nThou shalt not kill<\/q>. I\u2019m sure I read that somewhere?<\/span><\/p>\n
\nA pundit will claim<\/span>
\nAnd the shadowy, They<\/q><\/span>
\nAre the ones you should blame.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nA freedom libretto<\/span>
\nSo why am I back<\/span>
\nIn this working class ghetto?<\/span><\/p>\n
\nA war to end war<\/span>
\nBut who really won?<\/span>
\nAnd who was it for?<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWe\u2019ve fought colour, race, creed<\/span>
\nA bloodless good war<\/span>
\nIs just what we need<\/span><\/p>\n
\nA blackout of greed<\/span>
\nNot napalm, but aid<\/span>
\nTo all those in need<\/span><\/p>\n
\nRescue poor from their ditch<\/span>
\nPut disease to the sword<\/span>
\nAnd sequester the rich<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
