Once That Last Soldier Dies - rewritten
There will never be peace
till that last soldier dies
the youth who are fighting
swallow government lies
Wars never one sided
the fault lies with both
then brainwashed children
take that ultimate oath
They're to fight to the death
practice an eye for an eye
**** women and children
without knowing the why
Told it's about faith
and on this they should stand
when the truth of the matter
it's really about land
As long as the land
remains the spoils of war
there won't be any peace
politicians keep score
Time now to play war
leaders beating their drums
it's more power they seek
without care how it comes
Sending kids to their death
whether land, sea or sky
it's sad we'll only know peace
once that last soldier dies
