East and West could not agree
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.

And it was in his name
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
