FOOLS OF WAR       

​

They go to war cos they're dumb and they're helpless, yes 

They go to war cos they're scared and they're ruthless, still 

They go to war despite that they know that the many will die

 

They go to war can't lose face, can't back down again 

They go to war can't look weak like a clown again

They go to war cos men don't / ask for help and the boys don't cry

 

-------

 

When will we ditch these tyrants, send their castles crashing to the floor

Unmask them as nothing but fools yeah, nothing but fools of war

Don't believe a populist word, don't listen to the pied piper's lies

They're dangerous, murderers, extremist, narcissist, losers and liars

They are nothing but fools of war,           Fools of war

 

-------

Peace, peace, give a chance to

Peace, peace, let love shine through

Peace, peace, always argue against the

Fools of war              /      against the fools

----

 

They go to war, never learnt to win arguments

They go to war, they're terrorist not presidents

They go to war, yes they know they will die

And the dying is the goal

 

They go to war with imaginary power yes 

They go to war, favourite film "Darkest hour" yes

They go to war delusional, drunk, blind, bitter and diseased

 

-------

Go to war that's how coward's always answer to

Go to war any threat is a much ado

They go to war cos they think what is right / for them is right for all

 

They go to war please wake up, can we not repeat

They go to war death in victory and defeat 

They go to war but what if, we all don't, follow blind and heed the call

PEACE, LOVE AND EMPATHY

Said Mister Lowe, Long time ago, What's so funny 'bout
Peace, Love and Understanding and
It's still true, it still counts
Yes the times they are dire

To save the earth we will need
Peace, Love and Empathy
Be serious, live life with
Peace, Love and Empathy
An end to violence comes with
Peace, Love and Empathy
Yes we are nothing without
Peace, Love and Empathy

When will we learn to Read books not burn
And morals don't need a god
Let children learn Discover, discern that
Blind obedience is flawed
Why so paranoid
-
Guess I'm a hippy, Sure I'm a lefty
Knowledge is sexy, freedom's not scot-free
One things for sure, We need a cure
We can't ignore, We can't just carry on, carry on

Always I'll argue, Try to convince you
You can't just pursue, Joy and a new you
Gotta grow up, Stop fucking up
Stop pushing luck, Live life responsibly
In Peace, Love and Empathy

When will our heroes be the peaceful and discreet
When will the devil be boring
And the saint the sweet
And teachers and nurses be rich
