Forgive Us

Broken law, shock and awe,
This is not what I voted for
Our sons and our daughters
Lambs for the slaughter
Leaving their homes to fight another war
When will we learn? When will we learn?

Death is death, peace is peace
More of one can't make the other increase
Waging war cannot make more of anything we really need
When will we learn? When will we learn?

But the man on the TV
Says we must fight for security
'Cause all bombs are bad
...except ours, of course

God bless Iraq, God bless Afghanistan
God have mercy on the promised land
God forgive us for the monster we've become
God bless Iraq, God bless Afghanistan
God have mercy on the promised land
God forgive us for the monster we've become
God forgive us
God forgive us
