Intro
East and West cannot agree so the
generals gave call "gather troops at the border"
With guns at ready drawn and aimed
and soldiers praying to a god to bless them with strength and courage
And it was in his name that artillery lit the sky on fire
The people sing protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
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 plead in frustration
their claim that this was a war without a reason
And bureaucrats engaged in debate to try to reach a resolution
The people sing protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
The battle Raged On...
Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
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
Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun.
Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
The battle Raged On...
