lyrics

War
throughout our known history
as endemic today
Disguised as civilised
we’re surprised
when they say
A sheltered civilian would kill
if they were the victim
Is there hope for peace
in our lifetime?
I don’t know

Contrast in our opinion
both sides are right in their eyes
A stalemate
plays out on the world stage
with the faith based
and atheist
Fanatics attacking
for a difference
in view of afterlife
can’t conceive compromise
Seen on the screen
twenty-fifteen
a cry for airstrikes
Vote passed
aircraft left that night
Watching it live
in bitter disbelief
Found I’m naive
no matter how much I read
The speed stories
are here and then gone
we don’t get long to digest
Most reiterate
but we don’t extrapolate enough

From the western perspective
the last option is bloodshed
but we’re not like minded
Can’t we just work it out?
Talking to the ilk
that’s taught to kill
from the second they walk
The thought never seems
to cross our minds
Our lives that breed
weakness on mass scale
could be doomed to fail

Stressed and self obsessed
the average Joe
doesn’t know what darkness is
To lose a loved one by a drone
We moan when there’s
traffic on the road
or if ya dinner’s served cold
Life in a microcosm of our own
Many seem devoid of empathy
Issues of no significance
blow up to compensate

Hard to grasp
what’s going on
in a soldier’s mind
whose duties include suicide
To be willing to die
more committed than I
Our partners sleep in fur pyjamas
A culture of blokes
with life-size teddy bears
Aware but underprepared
for more abhorrent affairs
Domesticated to a fault
There are problems
that there is no
Academic solution to
Divided we’re weak
in need of an authority
protect us
from them
for lack of a better option
