Pistols cocked, triggers pulled
Mothers cry as children die
Bomb dropped, house burned
Sirens wail, hospital full
No first aid, set-up grave

And all for what?

A few men's greed
Orders given, city invaded
No more food, city blockaded
Babies cry, reporters lie
Uncle dead, questions asked
Run away, charged with treason
No more toys, army needs plastic

School canceled, bombing threat
Bank closed, money's tight
Farms burned, failed crops
Draft issued, guns given

Suicide bomber, 60 dead
POW's, target practice
Gun jammed, no bullets fire
City invaded, soldiers in

Bullets fly, civilians die
Pensions promised, no money given
Protesters riot, called traitors

Don't like it?

Then STOP it
