A New War - With Honor

Will we see the day when the trees that we hang our heads from

Hit the ground like dead men’s love songs

Offering another history of privilege and open doors?

As they march us off to a new war

When it’s through there’ll be a hundred more

With us to wonder what the hell we’re fighting for

RESIST;

cycle repear;

relinquish

We’ve made an art of giving in

Forfeiting steps we should have taken

Will we see a light in the dark at this tunnel’s end?

To pacify the rage of hollow slogan

To expose picket sign pretense

And rationalize words without actions?

Did we forget the future’s in the making?

Rules may be bent

But they’re overdue for breaking

Open your eyes, stand up and believe

Throw off the chains, for once be free

Let go of this so-called freedom bedtime story

The only free ones have built empires on two bit lies and blood money

Let go of this so-called freedom bedtime story

The oldest new war, under the radar

Is fought in city streets and back alleys
