Son in a legion and the lies your believing
cutting a wedge into your home
Shelling as instinct culling as wisdom
Could we ever just leave them alone?
Body parts mounting as we drink from the fountain
shipping the gravy back home
Slap on some labels and we'll stare out our navels
to a soundtrack of metal on bone
You draw the sun from the sky with your faith in the lies of the people who need you to roll out their crimes as you stand in the street with your head held high coz the men of your country fought with such pride you might cast your thoughts to the darkening of hearts in the brotherhood of man torn apart for the belief that conflict is a worthwhile pursuit when you're rewarded with a folded flag and a rifled salute aimed at the eye of the sun
You draw the sun from the sky

Another Mans War

I could see it in the distance I could see it coming fast
I thought that it might reach me but didn't think it would last.
When the call went out for men we scrambled to our feet, kissed goodbye our loved ones and said "We'll be home in a couple of weeks".
Johnny was the first one I didnt see him fall he never was a fighter and shouldn't have been there at all.
Through all the dust 'n blood I saw the look on his childlike face, could think only of his mother and how he'd never be replaced.
Though we pushed and we pulled in that god forsaken place, we never moved an inch. It was such a fuckin' waste.
We fought for politicians, we fought for kings and queens.
We fought the fight for freedom and everything in between.
We read the propaganda. We were fed a pack of lies.
There would have to be a price, they paid it with their lives.
They told us we were fighting the war to end all wars when all we were fighting was another man's war.

The Life of a Nation

Every nations soldier coming to the fore
lying in wait for the generals dreaded call
in a time where black is white and lies spill like blood
mothers remember new born cries
and the fire in the sky begins to glow
what if we put out the fire?
what if we stayed at home?
what if we left them alone?
wall to wall diplomats presidents and kings
the Berlin wall's significance is drowning in the din
newsprint flies full of re-used lies
the sky is painted red
children cry and run and hide
from the dragons over head
our demons will be forged in the fire
our legacy will be our curse
we're only gonna make it worse

The Fact
04:21
|

|
we were sitting so very quietly
in the comfort of our homes
tending to the children and the needs of our own
when storm clouds over the hill
began to shadow the fields and the lightning began to strike
as the raiders raised their swords
so we fortified ourselves
bolted closed the doors
freedom street was closed
cut off at the top
we'd have to fight our way out
and thats what the war was all about
and it all comes down to the fact
that were getting very fat off the backs of the free world
it all comes down to the fact that we never check the facts
where were the weapons George?
Set 'em up and knock 'em down into the ground
draw them out to fight
so we can claim the right
to go in there and calm the aggression
and if they answer back
we'll give their face a slap
coz we wont stand for oppression

You said you'd be a sailor boy
now you're lost at sea
remember what they said?
remember what they said
