SHOOTING SOLDIERS
Fighting words may fly the fields
But you're not really telling me how you feel
Sounds amplify from your vocal chords
Loud as exploding bombs of both world wars
Battling back and forth like Shooting Soldiers
Battling back and forth like Shooting Sodiers
Taking things too personal can make your little words more Tragical
Think of what you're saying hearing but not listening
Pulling triggers at your enemy
Empty words coming out of you and me
Following commands of military
Snipers aiming at them ruthlessly
Bullets and grenades will fly across
We don't seem to know what it really costs
Battling back and forth like Shooting Soldiers
Battling back and forth like Shooting Soldiers
P.O.W. and AWOL
Bloody Body Bags another soldier falls
Think of what we're saying
We're hearing but not listening
Battling back and forth like Shooting Soldiers
Battling back and forth like Shooting Soldiers
Battling back and forth like Shooting Soldiers
Battling back and forth like Shooting Soldiers
Smoky fields of tragedy
Mass destruction it don't have to be
Forgiveness of thy enemies
Lets make peace and harmony
For you and me
For you and me
For you and me
For you and me
Flying words may fly across the fields
But you're not really telling me how you fell

Fighting over rich man's lies,
Floating down a stream of blood,
All in the

Small Stuff
Well he grabs a toy and he holds it close, looking out that door
Waiting for the time to come, where he'd see
Another mother cries as she loses her child
She sits alone , no chance to say goodbye
She looks to the heavens, and begins
