| Bomb The World (Armageddon Mix) by Michael Franti I don't understand the whole reason why / You tellin' us all that we need to unify Rally round the flag / And beat the drums of war Sing the same old songs - We heard 'em all before You tellin' me it's unpatriotic But I call it what I see it / When I see it's idiotic The tears of one mother / Are the same as any other Drop food on the kids / While you're murderin' their fathers But don't bother to show it on CNN Brothers and sisters, don't believe them That it's a war against evil / It's really just revenge Engaged on the poorest by the same rich men Fight terrorists wherever they be found But why you not bombing Tim McVeigh's hometown? You can say what you want propaganda television But all bombing is terrorism We can chase down all our enemies Bring them to their knees We can bomb the world to pieces But we can't bomb it into peace Whoa we may even find a solution To hunger and disease We can bomb the world to pieces But we can't bomb it into peace 9-1-1 Fire in the skies, Many people died No one even really knows why They sow lies of division and fear We yelled and cried / No one listened for years But like, "who put us here?" / And who's responsible? Well, there's no debatin' / Cause if they ask me I say It's big corporations / World trade organisation Tri-lateral action / International sanctions, Satan Seems like it'll be an endless price tag / Of wars tremendous And most disturbingly / The death toll is so horrendous So I send this to those / Who say they defend us Send us into harm's way / We should all make a remembrance that This is bigger than terrorism / Blood is blood is blood and Love is true vision / Who will listen? How many songs it takes for you to see You can bomb the world to pieces You can't bomb it into peace (chorus) Power to the peaceful And I sing, love to the people y'all Power to the peaceful And I sing, love to the people y'all |
