lyrics

If there's another war
What role will I play?
Do I march off
Like a moth to a burning flame?

I know that you lied
I heard those children cry
I know that you lied
I heard the children cry

Will I shed my blood for nothing
How can you hold your head up high?
You go off making enemies
And watch the children die

You watch the children die
You watch the children die

There are too many wars fought to the enrichment of the few and the suffering of the many
How many traumas will we endure to uphold a political and economic system that doesn't benefit us, it doesn't help us

Why should I kill another man
To uphold your social order?
To enrich your donors and friends
To let you feel some power?

I know you lied
I heard those people cry
They just wanted justice
And you gave them death from above

Will I shed my blood for nothing
How can you hold your head up high?
You go off making enemies
And watch the children die

You watch the children die
You watch the children die

There's only one war that makes sense at the end of the day, and that's class war.
The people above with the power and money using us as pawns for their geopolitical gains, and to destroy us from within. They'll let us die.
