Michael Franti And Spearhead - Bomb The World (Armageddon Version) lyrics

rate me

I don't understand the reason why You tellin' us all that we need to unify Rally round the flag And beat the drums of war Sing the same old songs Ya know we heard 'em all before You tellin' me it's unpatriotic But I call it what I see it When I see it's idiotic The tears of one mother Are the same as any other Drop food on the kids While you're murderin' their fathers But don't bother to show it on CNN Brothers and sisters don't believe them It's not a war against evil It's really just revenge Engaged by the poorest by the same rich men Fight terrorists wherever they be found But why you not bombing Tim McVeigh's hometown? You can say what you want propaganda television But all bombing is terrorism (chorus) We can chase down all our enemies Bring them to their knees We can bomb the world to pieces But we can't bomb it into peace Whoa we may even find a solution To hunger and disease We can bomb the world to pieces But we can't bomb it into peace 911 Fire in the skies Many people died And no one even really knows why They tellin' lies of division and fear We yelled and cried No one listened for years But like, "who put us here?" And who's responsible? Well, there's no debatin' Cause if they ask me I say It's big corporations World trade organisation Tri-lateral action International sanctions, Satan Seems like it'll be an endless price tag Of wars tremendous And most disturbingly The death toll is so horrendous So I send this to those Who say they defend us Send us into harm's way We should all make a remembrance that This is bigger than terrorism Blood is blood is blood and um Love is true vision Who will listen? How many songs it takes for you to see You can bomb the world to pieces You can't bomb it into peace (chorus) Power to the peaceful And I say, love to the people y'all Power to the peaceful And I say, love to the people y'all
