Bomb The World (Armageddon Version) - Michael Franti and Spearhead
I dont understand the whole 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 its unpatriotic
but I call it what I see it
when I see its idiotic
the tears from one mother
are the same as any other
drop food on the kids
while youre murdering their fathers
but dont bother to show it on cnn
brothers and sisters dont believe them
that its a war against evil
its really just revenge
engaged on the poorest by the same rich men
fight terrorists wherever they be found
but why you not bombing tim mcveighs hometown?
you can say what you want, propaganda television
but all bombing is terrorism
(CHORUS)
chase down all your enemies
we can bring them to their knees
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we cant bomb it into peace
we may even find a solution
to hunger and disease
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we cant bomb it into peace
911
fire in the skies
many people died
and no-one even really knows why
they telling 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, theres no debatin'
cause if they ask me I say
its the big corporations
world trade organisation
tri-lateral action
international sanctions, satan
seems like it'll be and 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 harms way
we should all make a remembrance that
this is bigger than terrorism
blood is blood is blood and umm
love is true vision
who will listen?
how many songs it takes for you to see?
you can bomb the world to pieces
you cant bomb it into peace
(CHORUS)
we chase down all our enemies
we can bring them to their knees
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we cant bomb it into peace
we may even find a solution
to hunger and disease
we can bomb the world into pieces
but we cant bomb it into peace
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
we may even find a solution
to hunger and disease
we can bomb the world into pieces
but we cant bomb it into peace
