The War Confessions

Theres a fury on the waves
A madness taking place
Fueled by the blood
Of weary wage slaves

And they taught us how to hate
In a hi tech kind of way
Made us meat puppets
For the wars they wage

In a playground, running round
In a playground, being clowns
Werent we once kids
Just kicking a ball?
Laughing bout everything
Nothing at all

In a playground, neath the sun
In a playground, having fun
Werent we once kids
Thought war is a game?
Fall over dead
And jump up again

(Hey, hey, what do you want to say?}

Dont want to lose my legs
In defense of larceny
The banksters stealing billions
From the national Treasury

Dont want to take a bullet
Left coughing up blood
For your right to a lap dance
At some faraway club

Dont want to suck my meals
Through a thin feeding tube
On behalf of profiteers
Dealing addicts their crude

Dont want to wheeze harshly
Hooked to a machine
In the service of ingrates
And all thats obscene

Dont want to suffer flashbacks
Those nightmarish screams
While billionaires lullaby
To private jet dreams

Nobodys tool, nobodys fool.
NO!!!!

In a world so long ago
In a world we used to know
Werent we once kids?
Who sang funny songs
No thoughts of torture
Phosphorous bombs

In a world so long ago
In a world we used to know
Werent we once kids?
Who rode on our bikes
Vampires scared us
Not nuclear strikes

(Hey, hey, what do you want to say?)

Theres a fury on the waves
A madness taking place
Fueled by the blood
Of weary wage slaves

Theres a world of growing horror
Where a playground stood before
And it s time to stop
This lunatic war

Theres a world of growing horror
Where a playground stood before
And its time to stop
This murderous war

Theres a world of growing horror
Where a playground stood before
And Its time to stop
This sickening war

Theres a world of growing horror
Where a playground stood before
And its time to stop
This bloody awful war

Lets bring back our playground
Stop this war
Lets restore our playground
Stop this war

Yes, its time
(yes its time)

Time to STOP THIS WAR!
