Burns Unit — "Send Them Kids To War"

 

 

 

 I hear the whisper on the television

 Listening to men with ideas but no

 Vision, so I'm telling you to stop, sit

 Back and listen, if you don't you won't

 Know what you are missing

 

Is there anything the small can do

 About war? No towers of wealth but a

 March for freedom call, when will we

 See these empires fall, let it hurt like a

 Kick in the balls

 

Now the masked men marching, the

 Question is when? A billion brothers

 Multiplied by ten, sucking vampires of

 Your mente, what about the ones so

 Poor that they beg for the end to come

 But there's no where to go to be sent,

Walking for miles and the same road

 Bends, in to a city owned by the same

 Men, who own the streets, media, lives

 And rent

 

What you gonna do when your arms

 Unfold busy standing listening and

 Doing what you're told when your mind

 Awake and your heart lying cold what

 You gonna do when alone

 Send them kids to war, to get a bullet

 In the head and tell them what they're

 Living for just send them kids to war

 And tell they parents that they died

 For a worthy cause what are you

 

Fighting for? Think you're fightin for a

 Reason not a kick in the balls and they

 Go and send them kids to war...

 

So why you wanna turn a blind

 Eye, when you hear it and see dumb

 Politicians lie,

But you turn the other way and ignore

 Lives, taken by the ones you pay your

 Tax to abide, send your sons and

 Daughters away to die, paid for by

 Yourselves and wave goodbye, they

 Control every aspect of your life, so

 Get your assets on the floor and don't

 Ask why

 

Play by the rules they never make sense,

You pay your road tax, vat and pay

 Again, big brother has trapped you but

 You wanna ask when are we gonna wake

 Up see and find zen? But you never

 Really put the effort in, ignorance is

 Bliss so you let these kids fend for

 Themselves like they've got no friends,

Who give a shit that they life is coming

 To an end

 

And for what? What are you dying for?

 The government sending you to fight

 Their wars, you break this down and

 They bridge those walls, what are you

 Dying for?
