Lyrics

VICTIMS IN WAR © F. ISRAEL

TIRED OF ALL THE FUSS LIVIN IN MY HEAD
PICTURE PERFECT LIES PUTTIN ME TO BED
RICH DUDES IN ZOOT SUITS SELLIN ME LOVE
TUGGIN AT MY POCKETS WITH A STRING FROM ABOVE.
CAN YOU REMEMBER CAN YOU RENEW
A TIME WHEN YOU WERE YOU YOU KNEW WHAT TO
DO YOU REMEMBER CAN YA COME TO
SOME RESOLUTION?
(chorus)
I WANNA WHISPER IN FLIGHT
OVER ISLANDS AND NATIONS
OVER FIRE AND ICE
OF BROKEN WINGS AND BURNT OUT HALLS.
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE
WILL YOU STILL OPEN YOUR DOOR?
THEY 'LL TAKE NO PRISONERS
WE'RE ALL VICTIMS IN WAR.

DRUNKEN FATHERS AND MOTHERS OF RAGE
RAISED BY THE HANDS THAT HAND DOWN THEIR WAYS
CRIMINALS PRIESTS POLITICIANS POLICE
THEY ALL SURVIVE THEY WERE RELEASED
BEGGARS AND CHOOSERS BLIND LEADING THE BLIND
SOME PAY THEIR DUES SOME PAY NO MIND
LOVERS AND LOSERS LEAVE IT BEHIND
ABUSE'S SHORT FUSES FERMENT OVER TIME
SILENCE HIDES IN THE WILDS OF MIND AND GROWS
WHO KNOWS.
I WANNA WHISPER IN FLIGHT
OVER ISLANDS AND NATIONS ETC)
THEY TAKE NO PRISONERS. WE'RE ALL VICTIMS IN WAR.

LOST SOLDIER FACE DOWN IN THE MUD
PEDDLERS OF HATE AUCTION OFF HIS BLOOD
WHEN WILL IT END AND WHAT IS IT FOR
ANSWER FOR EVERY CASUALTY OF WAR
IN THE LINE OF DUTY IN THE LINE OF FIRE
IN THE FRONT RANKS OF HELL
THAT BARRICADE THE SOUL
HISTORY LEAVES A MESSAGE BUT NEVER A CLUE
AND SO IT CONTINUES
WHEN THE TURMOIL OF TEARS OVERFLOW THESE WELLS
WE CAN FETCH OUR BUCKETS FROM WAY
DOWN IN OURSELVES...WE CAN WE CAN
WE CAN WHISPER IN FLIGHT
OVER ISLANDS AND NATIONS
OVER FIRE AND ICE
HALF BROKEN WINGS AND BURNT OUT HALLS.
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE
WILL YOU STILL OPEN YOURDOOR?
STAND THERE A TREMBLIN' A VICTIM IN WAR.
