Songtext von Not My War

Do you hear the war drums? They play the song of impending death An archenemy has been chosen A new scapegoat for unrest Starting a war to settle the score They say God is on our side A mission divine, and just this once Killing is justified My bureaucracy has enemies, but their enemies are not mine Feed into the corruption War is a rich man's game But a poor man's fight And it never ends I can feel the coming genocide And I'm forced to take a side While the leaders count the bodies in the ground No compromise It bleeds right before my eyes Desensitized And this is not my war Only the dead have seen the end of war We're standing fast for something more We pay the price for peace With the blood of the deceased My bureaucracy has enemies, but their enemies are not mine Feeding on our destruction We've only ourselves to blame Now salute the flag As it turns to ashes I can feel the coming genocide And I'm forced to take a side While the leaders count the bodies in the ground No compromise It bleeds right before my eyes Desensitized And this is not my war Oh, how we all claim to be pacifists Until we are commanded to hate And it turns to ashes I can feel the coming genocide And I'm forced to take a side While the leaders hide the bodies in the ground No compromise It bleeds right before my eyes Desensitized And this is not my war I can feel the coming genocide I don't want to take a side While our fathers put their children in the ground A sacrifice It decays right before my eyes And this is not my war
