lyrics

Power in Your Hands

Men of war!
Why are you fighting?
I will never understand
Why the power in your hands
Isn't used for something better.
And we could all be here alive and free.

Men of War!
Why aren't you writing?
You must teach your children well
That war is living hell.

Men of War!
They are still building
The machines of certain doom
For an end that comes too soon.

Men of War!
Are we not all human?
We're supposed to have the brains
Not to do it all again.

Death is you trade!
Death for sale!
Guns to be made!
Guns will never fail!
But you'll never see the sun again
We all fear that you don't hear.

Men of War!
Where will it get you?
Money's never raised the dead
Why don't you use your empty heads.

You take we whilst I'm still a child
When my heart's still running wild.
You put a gun into my hand
And send me too a foreign land.

Then you tell me to do my duty

Whatever that is?



Are we but fodder for your guns?

Are we your braves and not your sons?

Have you thought what we might learn?

What we could do should we return?

So don't tell me about my duty

I know what it means, do you, understand me?



When, when will you ever learn

From history? War is not the way!

How do you expect us to grow

from the examples that you show?

Don't you know,

That your wars just bring us shame?



When will you ever learn?

When you are all overturned?

Power has become your game!
