East and West could not agree |
|
So their generals gave call, gathered troops at the border |
|
With guns at ready, drawn and aimed |
|
Each side was praying to a |
|
God to bless them with strength and courage |
|
It was in |
|
His name artillery lit the sky on fire |
|
The people sang protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun |
|
Protest songs in response to military aggression |
|
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun |
|
But the battle raged on |
|
Sirens filled the air, and the ground shook with war |
|
Civilian casualties had been a cost that was predetermined |
|
When interviewed for report, victims pleaded in frustration |
|
Their claim: that this was a war without reason |
|
And bureaucrats engaged in debate to try and reach a resolution |
|
The people sang protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun |
|
Protest songs in response to military aggression |
|
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun |
|
Protest songs in response to military aggression |
|
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun |
|
But the battle raged on |
|
While the broadcast, like their prayers, went unanswered and ignored |
|
God, like the rest of the world, just watched in silence |
|
There was purpose to be served, there were fortunes to be earned |
|
Before a peace could be called to stop the fighting, they sang... |
|
Protest songs in response to military aggression |
|
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun |
|
Protest songs in response to military aggression |
|
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun |
|
Protest songs in response to military aggression |
|
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun |
|
Protest songs in response to military aggression |
|
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun |
|
But the battle raged on |
