Our Demise
Half-truths and whole lies
Simple words can't justify
Another lie
Another dies
And another mother left to cry
Another night
Another thousand lives
When will we realize
War will be our demise?
So unfortunate we can't sacrifice our pride
Now a land being filled
With the innocent blood we spilled
What is left to say
When the martyrs are left to their graves?
No real understanding of
What it is they're dying for
Freedoms price seems too much to pay
Freedom for you and for me
Freedom from this awful tyranny
Consequently a choice has been made
We've paid in full
Now we must accept this rising death toll
Relative truth has set a barrier down
It seems that our hate is our only common ground
With words
We make sound
But no real progress made
In this escapade
Cultures set worlds apart
This has failed from the start
Our lack of understanding
And respect
For those who would choose right to be left
Our placement has left them faithless
A faith only we could break
Our placement has left them faithless
A faith only we could break
Our placement has left them faithless
A faith only we could break
Our placement has left them faithless
A faith only we could break
A faith only we could break
A faith only we could break
Our placement has left them faithless
A faith only we could break
Our placement has left them faithless
A faith only we could break
How could we expect them to see
Eye to eye
When we have them face down
On their knees?
(Ten banana cream pies!)
Simple words can't justify
Another lie
Another dies
And another mother left to cry
Another night
Another thousand lives
When will we realize
War will be our demise?
So unfortunate we can't sacrifice our pride
Now a land being filled
With the innocent blood we spilled
What is left to say
When the martyrs are left to their graves?
No real understanding of
What it is they're dying for
Freedoms price seems too much to pay
Freedom for you and for me
Freedom from this awful tyranny
Consequently a choice has been made
We've paid in full
Now we must accept this rising death toll
Relative truth has set a barrier down
It seems that our hate is our only common ground
With words
We make sound
But no real progress made
In this escapade
Cultures set worlds apart
This has failed from the start
Our lack of understanding
And respect
For those who would choose right to be left
Our placement has left them faithless
A faith only we could break
Our placement has left them faithless
A faith only we could break
Our placement has left them faithless
A faith only we could break
Our placement has left them faithless
A faith only we could break
A faith only we could break
A faith only we could break
Our placement has left them faithless
A faith only we could break
Our placement has left them faithless
A faith only we could break
How could we expect them to see
Eye to eye
When we have them face down
On their knees?
(Ten banana cream pies!)
