Stop the Wars

With empire in your eye, you invade and occupy;
You’re the Cops of the world, selling arms to every side.
Meanwhile back at home, sittin’ on your throne,
You’re cuttin’ us to the bone … (I said) you’re cuttin’ us to the bone …

[CHORUS} STOP THE WARS (3X)
Stop the war on the poor
working women and men.
Over here, over there,
It’s the same at both ends – STOP THE WARS !

With the world in your grips, you shoot from the hips.
With death planes and ships, you play your power-trips.
Skull and bones, in a class all your own,
You’re in the twilight zone .. .in the twilight zone …

[CHORUS} Stop the Wars (3X)
Stop the wars on the poor
working women and men.
Over here, over there,
I’ll keep sayin’ it again.
When all is said and done,
and the battle-bell is rung.
It’s always working people
at both ends of the gun – STOP THE WARS !

[CHORUS} I know it sounds redundant, but what’s it good for?
Violence breeds violence; need I say any more?
STOP THE WARS (4X)
… You know what it’s about, I know it’s been said,
cannon fodder, body counts and bury the dead.
Working people pay with taxes, daughters and sons,
While the rich and politicians play the fortunate ones.
STOP THE WARS!
