Quoted Questions, or Questioned Quotes?

Would you rather die, or just fade away?
To live your life, and fight another day
Live every day as if it were your last
Forgetting all your mistakes from the past

Never letting the bastards grind you down
Keep on smiling and never wear a frown
What does not kill you can make you stronger
Live fast, die young, go slow and live longer?

Will the Earth ever meet its Waterloo?
Why should I have to mind my “P’s & Q’s? ”
Do we now care about life way too much?
If we can look, then surely we can touch

If life is a joke why don’t I get it
If you have no aim in life, you’ll hit it
To forgive is divine, to forget is..?
Why do we think that ignorance is bliss?

White Hats, Black Hearts?

Where have all the old good guys gone?

What have all the new good guys done?

Were the good guys really that good?

Are the good guys in a foul mood?

Their “White Cowboy Hats” going grey?

Who’ll live to fight another day?

If ignorance is trully bliss?

Can I give the order to “Dismiss?”

One more war, ending childrens lives?

Tanks, soldiers, rifles, guns, and knives?

Looting, murder, rape and pillage?

This was once, a peaceful village?

Mothers with babies, lost and scared?

Crying out loud “We thought YOU cared?”

A Peace Treaty that has been signed?

But will it bring THEM peace of mind?

Another day, the fog of war?

Another choice, just like before?

Another way, killing no more?

Another voice, settling a score?

Differing ways, different times?

Peace-Keepers with mountains to climb?

Miss the start, now don’t miss the end

Has the Human Race got a friend??

Just Another War

Just another war
Fighting insurgents in Iraq
Call in the Air Force to attack
And just go home
Just another war
Heat seeking missiles everywhere
Missing the targets, they don’t care
They’ll go home

Oh it’s such a stupid war
I don’t think you know what to do
Just a stupid war
The killing keeps on going on
How long will this war carry on?

Just another war
Boy soldiers killing, on their own
The stars and stripes look all alone
To everyone
Just a stupid war
For the black gold, or something else
Are you wasting your nations wealth?
that’s not good

This is such a stupid war
Your War on Terror’s crazy too
Just another war
The killing keeps on going on
Our peaceful way of life has gone

You can’t keep all the oil, you know
Planting seeds and watching them grow
Will the Grim Reaper let you sow
You know you’ll reap just what you sow
Just another war
You’ll leave the country in a mess
Don’t think you know, what’s for the best
A stupid war
Mothers and children laid to waste
Terrorist claims need to be faced
Just another war
An illegal war?
A stupid war?

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

Is Ignorance Bliss?

This time I’m not to blame
Wondering how to claim
That we won the mind games
Nothing remains the same

Was it something that was said
I lie wide awake in my bed
Cannot sleep thinking of the dead
Horrible visions in my head

Could you lend a hand
Maybe take a stand
In a foreign land
Is this what you planned

No bleeding hearts to be found
Keeping our feet on the ground
Keep on searching all around
Look up but never look down

Trying to be kind
Blind leading the blind
That is what you’ll find
Out of sight is out of mind

Let the little children play
Teach them of a peaceful way
War cannot be here to stay
Kids need peace, get it today

What is a lasting peace worth
Save our planet, mother Earth
Is ignorance really bliss
Gift for you, a loving kiss

Pictures of War

Do you know what you’re fighting for?
Do you think that you’re gonna win the war?
Does it hurt when another mother cries?
Collateral damage as her baby dies

Do you think that your God wanted this war?
Please tell me, ’cause I’m not so sure
Why can’t you just stop all of this killing?
You can do it today if you’re really willing

Do you think that your God is on your side?
Do you know that there’s no place for you to hide
Can you remember your words at the very start?
Where is your compassion? Where is your heart?

Looking back is this what you had planned?
Thousands of children’s blood on your hands
Could you stop it now or has it gone too far?
Is it oil that you want for your gas guzzling car?

Do you know what you’re fighting for?
Do you want to stop this stupid war?
Do you think that it’s all about winning?
Don’t think it’s freedom that you’re bringing

Why can’t you just get our soldiers out of Iraq?
Give mothers their sons and daughters back
Will we ever have ” Peace in our time?”
It could be the last mountain that we climb.
