Song by Against Me<br /><br>

East and West could not agree <br>

So their generals gave call <br>

Gathered troops at the border <br>

With guns and ready, drawn and aimed <br>

Each side was praying to a god <br>

To bless them with strength and courage <br>

And it was in his name artillery lit the sky on fire <br>

The people sang protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun <br>

<br>

Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression <br>

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun <br>

But the battle raged on...... <br>

<br>

Sirens filled the air and the ground shook with war <br>

Civilian casualties had been a cost that was predetermined <br>

When interviewed for report victims plead in frustration <br>

Their claim: That this was a war without reason <br>

Bureacrats engaged in debate to try and reach a resolution <br>

The people sang protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun <br>

<br>

Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression <br>

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun <br>

Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression <br>

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun <br>

But the battle raged on...... <br>

<br>

The Broadcast like their prayers went unanswered and ignored <br>

God, like the rest of the world, just watched in silence <br>

There was purpose to be served, there were fortunes to be earned <br>

Before a peace could be called to stop the fighting <br>

<br>

Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression <br>

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun <br>

Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression <br>

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun <br>

Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression <br>

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun <br>

Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression <br>

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun <br>

But the battle raged on....<br>
