Story Behind The Song

As a veteran I am watching the global situation unfold with apprehension and uncertainty. We were taught in basic the difference between legal and illegal orders.

Song Description

Everything to distract from the obvious.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Missiles flying, children crying, what's it gonna take?
Politicians plotting lies, while mothers break, let's awake


War drums beating, the anger's seething, love we need, ain't that revealing?
Look around at the chaos, far away lands filled with demands
A simple show of hands, can we stop that man, oh, understand
Burning desert sands, innocent blood stains where hope stands


Change won't come unless we make it, seems like peace has been forsaken
Make a promise, then you break it, you created a world full of doubt
What's it really all about?


Do we really need another war? Oh no, what are we fighting for?
Epstein files or is it oil? God knows we don't need another war


Will soldiers follow illegal orders, ships sinking in foreign waters?
Tough talk won't change borders, hard to win when you're making martyrs
Cities burning, people running, war machine just keeps on humming
Redacted files, we got your number, we wonder, how old was she then?
It's over, don't pretend, yeah, the cycle just won't end


How many coffins, how many lives, are we stuck in this game of lies?
How many die for the lives? When will the people realize?
And despise the premise and see the menace, let's get real, can we mend this?

[Rap]
Stand and fight with our hearts and souls, gotta break the chains that control our roles
A movement rising, can you feel the sway? Voices loud, united we'll say:


Do we really need another war? Oh no, what are we fighting for?
Epstein files or is it oil? God knows we don't need another war


So here we stand, not to fight, but to seek the light and right the night
No more missiles flying, no more crying, let's unite and end this fight
