Rich men wage wars Why don't they fight them Politicians,oligarch Soldiers dying for what? Rich men sending away poor men To die for some more money Some more power Some more land Just some more And more And more No side is the saint All of them, narcissistic egomaniacs,f**k them The cost is paid by those who don't know what it is even for By the innocent What did they do? And God never punishes the evil,only the innocent For absolute futility,families lose their children,people lose their nation For what? And you can give me many reasons to justify But how do you justify death Can you give them back what you have taken And you can give many speeches But can you tell me why is the old mother crying Why is that road red Why is the little boy orphaned What did they do? What is there fault? Why bring us into your sick games? And afterwards you celebrate But has any war ever been truly won? Both sides lose something Your soldiers are not my enemy Just humans,thinking he is doing the right thing War is the cost of peace,peace is the cost of war,a cycle of death,destruction and madness Madness,absolute madness Tyrants thinking they own us,and they do One man's ego ruining millions of lives How can someone be so evil It is their war,of the rich,why are we fighting No you can't However much you try you can justify mindless killing Not a single one of them Not a million We are not guns or tanks that can be bought and made We humans who live and laugh,have beating hard We aren't collateral damage And if we don't die we starve You may ask who are we? Many more than you estimate Who are you? This blood,this death,this destruction And you paint the dead as heroes and martyrs because you can't give them their lives back All the money in the world going to **** people who have nothing to do with it Peace is not profitable Peace is not in your interest Gory glory Red rivers You say its for good But don't you shiver When you see the tears In the widows eye The orphan children playing with wasted guns How do you sleep at night? Who is right who is wrong The left or right,I don't know You say,"us or them" There is no them It's only us,this whole world ,this is us,you are the 'them' Just tell me one thing before you call me coward It's blood on whose hand? People dying People crying People writing songs on wars On the sieges and victories And the pointlessness of it all Love will win Peace will win Love will win Peace will win Love will win Peace will win Love will win Peace will .................
