No More War

I speak for a man who gave for this land
Took a bullet in the back for his pay
Spilled his blood in the dirt and the dust
He's back to say:

What he has seen is hard to believe
And it does no good to just pray
He asks of us to stand
And we must end this war today

With his mind, he's saying, "No more!"
With his heart, he's saying, "No more!"
With his life he's saying, "No more war!"

With his eyes, he's saying, "No more!"
With his body, he's saying, "No more!"
With his voice, he's saying, "No more war!"

Yeah, nothing's too good for a veteran
Yeah, this is what they say
So nothing is what they will get
And there's no American way

The lies we were told to get us to go
Were criminal (?)... let us be straight
Let's get to the point where our voices get heard
And I know what I'll say

With his mind, he's saying, "No more!"
With his heart, he's saying, "No more!"
With his life he's saying, "No more war!"

With his eyes, he's saying, "No more!"
With his voice, he's saying, "No more!"
With his body, he's saying, "No more war!"

No more innocents dying
No more terror rising
No more eulogizing
No more evangelizing
No more presidents lying
No more war

With our minds, we're saying, "No more!"
With our hearts, we're saying, "No more!"
With our lives, we're saying, "No more war!"

    They say they want equal rights and justice,
    People need equal rights and their freedom.
    But the hijackers and the road blockers who are heads of this world,
    Just keep on storing up this dreadful war, just keep on storing up this brutal war,

    They say they're fighting to control the world.
    Ah…..terrorists, terrorists, terrorists, terrorism.

    One More..

    This One For The Leaders - Luciano


    This is my appeal
    To all your leaders out there, to stop the war.
    Cuz theres no justifiable reason
    It's about time..that you realize...that your not fulfilling your true purpose


    This one's for the leaders, who are fighting war.
    All over..the world
    This one's for the leaders, who are fighting war.
    All over..the world


    Think about the yutes, who are dyng out, (dying out)
    Crying out (crying out) for love.
    Victims of the system, we divide and grow
    To break us down, & tear us apart
    What is the future of the human race
    How will the children grow to take our place
    Where is the love that we should all embrace
    I do believe it's here, for you and me


    This one's for the leaders, who are fighting war.
    All over..the world
    This one's for the leaders, who are fighting war.
    All over..the world


    Thiiiiis one..is for, the leaders who are fighting war..
    All over the wooorld
    Imagine all the money, that you spend on arms
    Guns and bombs, to destroy
    While people are left hungry, to die from wants
    And those who do survive are unemployed
    What is the future of the human race
    How will the children grow to take our place
    Where is the love that we should all embrace
    I do believe, it here for you and me


    This one's for the leaders, who are fighting war.
    All over..the world
    This one's for the leaders, who are fighting war.
    All over..the world


    This one..This one...(for the children)...This one
    Thiiiiiiss oooooooonnnnnneee, This one for the, This one for the
    This one for the leaders
    This one, this one is for the leaders...

    Rise Againt - Hero of War.

    He said, "Son,
    Have you seen the world?
    Well, what would you say
    If I said that you could?
    Just carry this gun, you'll even get paid."
    I said, "That sounds very good."

    Black leather boots
    Spit-shined so bright
    They cut off my hair but it looked alright
    We marched and we sang
    We all became friends
    As we learned how to fight

    A hero of war
    Yeah, that's what I'll be
    And when I come home
    They'll be damn proud of me
    I'll carry this flag
    To the grave if I must
    Because it's flag that I love
    And a flag that I trust

    I kicked in the door
    I yelled my commands
    The children, they cried
    But I got my man
    We took him away
    A bag over his face
    From his family and his friends

    They took off his clothes
    They pissed in his hands
    I told them to stop
    But then I joined in
    We beat him with guns
    And batons not just once
    But again and again

    A hero of war
    Yeah that's what I'll be
    And when I come home
    They'll be damn proud of me
    I'll carry this flag
    To the grave if I must
    Because it's flag that I love
    And a flag that I trust

    She walked through bullets and haze
    I asked her to stop
    I begged her to stay
    But she pressed on
    So I lifted my gun
    And I fired away

    And the shells jumped through the smoke
    And into the sand
    That the blood now had soaked
    She collapsed with a flag in her hand
    A flag white as snow

    A hero of war
    Is that what they see
    Just medals and scars
    So damn proud of me
    And I brought home that flag
    Now it gathers dust
    But it's a flag that I love
    It's the only flag I trust

    He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
    Well what would you say
    If I said that you could?"

    war, what is it good for?

    absolutely nothing.

    unless you profit from it. then it is good for a lot of things.
    i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam
