WAR
War is a conflict, in which we inflict our pain
If you don’t believe me, let me try to explain
War is a conflict, in which we deliver our pain
You know it’s true, so I won’t tell you again
I do not need the Pope of Rome
I do not need a mobile phone
I do not need to hear your truth
I do not need to recapture my youth
I do not need any government institution
I do not need your written constitution
I do not need your version of reality
I do not need your promises of equality
I do not need to believe your lies in war
I do not need to ask what you’re fighting for
I do not need for you to treat me with disdain
I do not need you to got to war in my name again
I do not need to follow your instruction
I do not need to see any more destruction
I do not need to carry a gun or knife
I do not need to take a little child’s life
I only need me and my family
That’s real, not virtual reality
I need some time to do some thinking
I need to start my excessive drinking
Yes
When you look at me, what do you see?
Do you think that I’m living a life of luxury?
I may break into a smile, just occasionally
But I can assure my friend it’s not easy being me
I’m not bad today, life’s never been easy
Alone in my bed, wondering where is she?
You won’t catch me crying, unfortunately
I’m so used to holding back the tears lately
I come here, write a bit, I’ve given up drinking
Don’t smoke either, so all I do is some thinking
I’ve always preferred a sun-rise to a sun-set
My dreams have vanished, I’ve got space to let
No more bad dreams, I’ve got that feeling here deep in my gut
Memories are fading, doors that were open,now firmly shut
Am I justing waiting to die? Perhaps I’m already dead?
Hang on a minute, the dog & goldfish are needing fed
If I was my heart, I’d be knocked down and senseless
If I was my lungs, I’d be burnt out and extremely breathless
I’m still waiting here, and feeling so awfully old
I’m just lying here, because that’s what I was told
When the kids have left home, will that be our end?
Will we still be together? Will we stay best friends?
It’s getting so dark now, then it must be at night
Will you join me once more, and be my shining light?
Life
I’ve come here once again
To share with you my pain
Please don’t treat me with disdain
I’ll soon be off to Spain
Another bill to be paid
More new plans to be laid
Keep trying to make the grade
Embers of life start to fade
Trying hard to generate
Peace and hope, instead of hate
The planet’s in such a state
There’s no point getting too irate
Sit and watch the setting Sun
Children laughing, having fun
Now the day’s nearly done
I’ll have my dinner for one
Take a walk down by the sea
Seagulls fighting intensely
Water keeps flowing relentlessly
The best things in life are free
Getting sand between my toes
Forgetting all my earthly woes
Times have been harsh, and it shows
Like a book, life will one day close
