THE GENEVA SUGGESTIONS/CROSSFIRE
A spit in the eye is not just cause
No matter how tragic, no matter the loss,
To wage a war against civilians
To take the lives of children
Eye for an eye, blow for a blow
As our talking heads say "That's just how it goes."
You talk big but low blows are your strong suit
You disrespect the conventions you swore by to blind us all while you commit
War crimes
Civilians gunned down
Dead in the streets
Cuz the Geneva conventions look more like suggestions to me
Ceaseless fucking pain
The solution's always violence, the answer's always the same
Just counting down the days
'Til total fucking annihilation
War
Waged
To profit the greedy few
We
Call
Elected representatives
We don't know peace, but we know war
At any moment bombs could drop then next it's boots through the door
A husband, a father, shot down by another
Behind a gun, you've already won
They
Act
In callous disregard
For
The
Women and children, civilians caught in the
Crossfire
No matter how tragic, no matter the loss,
To wage a war against civilians
To take the lives of children
Eye for an eye, blow for a blow
As our talking heads say "That's just how it goes."
You talk big but low blows are your strong suit
You disrespect the conventions you swore by to blind us all while you commit
War crimes
Civilians gunned down
Dead in the streets
Cuz the Geneva conventions look more like suggestions to me
Ceaseless fucking pain
The solution's always violence, the answer's always the same
Just counting down the days
'Til total fucking annihilation
War
Waged
To profit the greedy few
We
Call
Elected representatives
We don't know peace, but we know war
At any moment bombs could drop then next it's boots through the door
A husband, a father, shot down by another
Behind a gun, you've already won
They
Act
In callous disregard
For
The
Women and children, civilians caught in the
Crossfire
