Too Many Stars

Way too many stars, way too many stripes
Far too many bagpipers bangin' on the pipes

Too many glory, hallelujah, rattled battle cries
Pass the ammunition, telling way too many lies

Too many alone, too many aware
Too many, it vainly goes on over there
Too many bombs that are bursting the dreams
Of the dads and the moms who now know what it means

Too many lives, too many lost
Too many boundaries and borders've been crossed
21 gunned and the bodies in bags
Done with the anthems and waived of the flags

Too many alone, too many aware
Too many, it vainly goes on over there
Too many bombs that are bursting the dreams
Of the dads and the moms who now know what it means

Way too many stars falling from the skies
An open invitation sent to open up their eyes
A monumental diplomatic moment that was missed
Too many make their living off it hand right over fist

Too many lives, too many lost
Too many boundaries and borders've been crossed
21 gunned and the bodies in bags
Done with the anthems and waived of the flags

Too many alone, too many aware
Too many, it vainly goes on over there
Too many bombs that are bursting the dreams
Of the dads and the moms who now know what it means
Too many alone, too many aware
Too many, it vainly goes on over there
Too many bombs that are bursting the dreams
Of the dads and the moms who now know what it means

Who now know what it means
Who now know what it means
