What War Means
An everlasting state of conflict, forgotten and remote
Disregarded and concealed
There is slaughter and bloodshed every day
Hunger, pain and forced migration
So far away from your safe homes
A world engulfed in violence
None of your fathers, none of your brothers
Sons and daughters lost in action
Self-sacrifice, a privilege just granted to the poor
The cruelties you know are black and white
So distant in time and space
Manipulated and sedated by military vapouring
About surgical precision and righteous interventions
Now they promise "no feet on the ground"
But you're just bored with peace
These wars are televised, edited and defanged
Blindness!
No screams of anguish resound
No air raid sirens sounding through the night
You just consume the horror, entertaining and amusive
You're not at war
Your land of bliss lies in an oppressed world of misery
There has never been esteem for simple human harmony
And you're just bored with peace
These wars are long-yearned-for
They need these states to burn
Believe me, you do not know
What war means, what war does to your families
Feelings of supremacy, reckless and inconsiderate
Contracted patriots heady with victory
And lacking ordinary empathy
An everlasting state of conflict, forgotten and remote
Disregarded and concealed
And you're just bored with peace, an abysmal tragedy
Disregarded and concealed
There is slaughter and bloodshed every day
Hunger, pain and forced migration
So far away from your safe homes
A world engulfed in violence
None of your fathers, none of your brothers
Sons and daughters lost in action
Self-sacrifice, a privilege just granted to the poor
The cruelties you know are black and white
So distant in time and space
Manipulated and sedated by military vapouring
About surgical precision and righteous interventions
Now they promise "no feet on the ground"
But you're just bored with peace
These wars are televised, edited and defanged
Blindness!
No screams of anguish resound
No air raid sirens sounding through the night
You just consume the horror, entertaining and amusive
You're not at war
Your land of bliss lies in an oppressed world of misery
There has never been esteem for simple human harmony
And you're just bored with peace
These wars are long-yearned-for
They need these states to burn
Believe me, you do not know
What war means, what war does to your families
Feelings of supremacy, reckless and inconsiderate
Contracted patriots heady with victory
And lacking ordinary empathy
An everlasting state of conflict, forgotten and remote
Disregarded and concealed
And you're just bored with peace, an abysmal tragedy
