Rated: E · Lyrics · Dark · #2268861
War, currency differences and prejudicial laws... Common rules and one currency is key!
Fools never think beyond the here and now.
As the meaning of their lives escapes them.
Living in the circles of their repetitive actions.
Bullets, bombs, ignorance are the tools of war.
War occurs when there is no common ground.
(Pause): War brings death, peace brings life, “What’s your preference??”

Fools, they always covet what their neighbor has.
They forget the true wealth on this planet.
Living in the circles of their own folly.
Everywhere they bring disease, suffering, strife, and death.
War occurs when you try to bully another.
(Pause): War brings death, peace brings life, “What’s your preference??”

Fools most often mistake material wealth for true worth.
Forsaking life’s akin to autumn leaves signaling change.
The seasons repeat in order to sustain life.
The collapse of democracy through a gun barrel.
War occurs when you promote inequality and inequity.
(Pause): War brings death, peace brings life, “What’s your preference??”

Fools try to possess all through monetary hoarding.
The lack of reason brings about true insanity.
If we but respected the life of another.
Alas, it’s “Us vs Them” through opposing opinions.
War occurs when you have no real solution.
(Pause): War brings death, peace brings life, “What’s your preference??”

Fools hide from the truth, hate breeds hate.
We’re supposed to be all of us equals.
Presently our global governments are inherited from enslavement.
We disrespect entire cultures through our many differences.
War occurs when you try to treat others unfairly.
(Pause): War brings death, peace brings life, “What’s your preference??”

Refrain:
Can’t they see…
The writing upon the wall?
The red velour curtain fall?
The many forms of death?
Life is our true wealth!
Can’t they see…

Statement to be read at the end:
“War solves nothing, it breeds hate, and then the cycle repeats through the children who now have hate in their hearts 25 years later.”
