Against Me!: White People For Peace

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 that artillery lit the sky on fire
The people sang protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest Songs in 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
teir claim: That this was a war without reason.
Bureacrats 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 response to military aggression.
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun.
Protest Songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun.

But the battle raged on.

Well, 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.
