Ida Jenshus - For The Nation lyrics

rate me

You go for the gun

You’re all for defence

They can’t harm your pride

You won’t run like a child

And you lost your innocence

The day you sent your men

Ref.

Cause you’ve started a war that shouldn’t be

Fighting an imaginary enemy

And you say you do this for the nation’s sake

So is killing the best you can do

For the nation

Two arrows crashed into a hive

It woke the bees and made them come alive

And we’re flying up here without any power to change

Or any influence

Ref.

Maybe we started a war that shouldn’t be

Fighting an imaginary enemy

And we say we do this for the nation’s sake

So is killing the best you can do, for the nation

So maybe we should take a second look

We turn our backs

When we accept

Now where needed more than ever

In these battles of the world

Not with weapons

But with love

Ref.

Maybe we started a war that shouldn’t be

Fighting an imaginary enemy

Oh, and we say we do this for the nation’s sake

So is killing the best you can do

So is killing the best you can do

So is killing the best you can do, for the nation
