Collateral Damage

A quiet night
Alone in bed
The only sound
Machines over your head
You can dive
Under the sheets
But you're powerless to bring these
Flying monsters to defeat

It's not your fault you are here
With a tap of a button bad men disappear
But in that same cloud of smoke you are gone
The collateral damage is done

This is collateral damage
No more, no more war
Collateral damage

A sunny day,
But you can't go out to play
Cause your momma say
"The monsters, they might get you!"
So live in fear
Your world will disappear
In a flash of heat
Every thing is gone

We making more enemies than friends
And this war you got us in it never ends
Money and power can't stop the hour
We will collect
On this collateral damage

This is collateral damage
No more, no more war
Collateral damage

If you don't want enemies, then why do you make them?
Inspiring terror through all this destruction
A country where people can starve and die,
But there's always money to make bombs to drop from the sky
A flag that one stood for free and fair
Now is a symbol of death and despair
Are we adding monster to our name
By allowing our country to kill without blame?

This is collateral damage
No more, no more war
Collateral damage

Hot afternoon,
Your bedroom
Blown up and gone
Around the crater ground.
The bombshells say
"Made In The U.S.A."
Family in tears swears to revenge

This is collateral damage
No more, no more war
Collateral damage

This is collateral damage
No more, no more war
Collateral damage

This is collateral damage
No more, no more war
Collateral damage
