War! (For A Peaceful Revolution)

from "Live And Alone: The Demos" by Everett McKee

/

lyrics

Baby, don't look down, there's a war coming on
Everyone gather 'round, the days won't last long
All the bombs crashing down, can't you see
As you collect your guns, the sun, it goes down on me

The blood I've seen hasn't helped to keep us free
Men and women just like you and me
As the newspaper reads this is the way peace
Go sell that to those buried beneath your feet

(CHORUS)
Well, the rain's falling fast, better wash the blood from your hands
Yeah, the wind's blowing past, can't keep track of your map in the sand
Take a look around, get body count
I can't take it anymore, just push me out the door
I'm running away

Take me now to the home of the innocent child
Buried beneath the fire as you wear a smile
You won't find hearts and minds won with the force of a gun
You better turn away now, yeah, you better go on the run

Listen to the voice talking to you
Ending quite quickly, forgetting to find the truth
A god dam war full of like, taking lives from your fellow man
A peaceful revolution needed now, so let's all take a stand

CHORUS
