Against Me! - White People For Peace lyrics

So their generals gave a call and gathered troops at the border

With guns ready, drawn and aimed

Each side was praying to a God

To bless them with strength and courage

It was in His name that artillery lit the sky on fire

The people sang protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest Songs in a response to Military Aggression

Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

But the battle raged on......

Sirens filled the air and the ground shook with war

Civilian casualties has been a cost that was predetermined

When interviewed for report victims pleaded in frustration

Their claim: That this was a war without reason

Bureaucrats engaged in debate to try and reach a resolution

The people sang protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest Songs in a response to Military Aggression

Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

But the battle raged on......

The Broadcast like their prayers went unanswered and ignored

God, like the rest of the world, just watched in silence

There was purpose to be served, there were fortunes to be earned

Before a peace could be called to stop the fighting

Protest Songs in a response to Military Aggression

Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

But the battle raged on......
