My brother had a book he would hold with pride He then goes on to talk again back home, about the effect of war on the family.īut enough pride inside not to let that show This could be referring to the inadiquacy of the UN, who are meant to go and help yet all they can do is sit and watch and clean their uniforms. They brush the dust from bullet proof vests away" "Do you see the soldiers they're out today Then we've got this line which I've noticed something new:

Then there's a change of scene and we're over in the fighting country, with war atrocities such as the boy dragged under a jeep. Have to react or get blown into fractions" "In my living room watching but I am not laughingĬause when it gets tense I know what might happen The second verse then explains that we all know what's going to happen and that it's going to be horrid, yet no-one does anything to help. "These - are laughing their way to the bank and cashing the checkĪsking you to have compassion and have some respect" Then he talks about how he can see through all the different lies that the politicians are making and the way they are just using the public and not caring for their reaction beyond their own well being: not just the current middle-east.Īt the start, he talks about speaking out and how he's singing this so that more people could possibly add their voices and stop the war from happening. Can I also point out the way the song seems to follow the political time-line of a war.
