Bombing for Peace

We got cruise, laser guided, multiple warhead
Expensive, explosive, guaranteed all dead,
No civilian casualties, no troops on the ground
What you sow and what you grow will eventually come around

Did you see it on the news, are you sure it’s not a ruse
Are you being used, you’ve got rights which you’ve abused
Did you sort fact from fiction, did you soon tract from friction
Did you sort truth from the lies, did you ever stop. To wonder why?

And if this terror rises up, we’ll reign this terror down

Watch the swarms of politicians, with shares in ammunitions
Turn a blind eye to their minions as they try to make their billions
Look to the other way, law unsound. No responsibility when it comes back around
Watch them scrabble in their playground, No compassion, hawks abound

So when this terror rises up, we’ll reign this terror down

We’re bombing for peace bombing for peace bombing for peace
We’re bombing for peace bombing for peace bombing for peace

And you’ll note there is this throng of people running from
Another nations bombs, for this better life we all long
Put on your jacket we can sing a national song.
Eat your chocolate cake, we’ve a war to prolong

So when this terror rises up, we’ll reign this terror down

We’re bombing for peace bombing for peace bombing for peace
We’re bombing for peace bombing for peace bombing for peace

Engage audience

We shall bomb them to stop them coming here
Bomb them though they are not really near
Bomb them as we shed another tear
Bombing them justifies our fear

Bomb them in the dead of night
Bomb them yes, that is our right
Bomb them to fight the good fight
Bomb them to keep them out of sight

Bomb their livelihoods, bomb their tools
Bomb their hospitals bomb their schools
Bomb them as they sleep, bomb them as they flee
We’re bombing for the good of humanity


We’re bombing for peace bombing for peace bombing for peace
We’re bombing for peace bombing for peace bombing for peace
We’re bombing for peace bombing for peace bombing for peace
We’re bombing for peace bombing for peace bombing for peace

So when this terror rises up, we’ll reign this terror down

about

The Creative Martyrs image

The Creative Martyrs Glasgow, UK

The Creative Martyrs, first appeared in 1883, performing cabaret song and speciality acts.

It was not until their Weimar Cabaret acts of the 1920s that the by then jaded Martyrs found a sympathetic ear.

They further developed their cynicism in the vaudeville shows of 1940s America by which time they were considered passé.

Now the Martyrs will play anywhere that will have them. ... more
