I Didn't Start The War
I didn't start the war.
I swear it wasn't me!
I was sitting in my bedroom
listening to music and drinking tea.
I have no reason to fight,
to **** or retaliate.
I despise violence.
And I also meditate.
I don't follow the news,
I'd say they rather follow me.
That is my only crime,
that I feel for the killed.
And yes, I cried when I saw
a woman holding her dead child,
her eyes were red from scream
to the silence of the sky.
Yes, I cried when I saw it,
I couldn't stop my tears.
That is my only crime,
that I feel for the killed.
