WAR OF WORDS LYRICS

"In Protest"

no don't look for me to raise a flag when your cities collapse
and no i won't shed a tear for the thousands who don't care about me

never thinking twice about the millions dying everywhere
'til one day it comes close to home and everyone pretends to care
flying flags of freedom well to me these flags are white
but i won't surrender to this pride i won't lean to the right
pride in race and nation can't you see it's such a joke
cause we're all born into different skin and land that we don't know
so don't take pride in where you come from but in who you are and what you do
the former's only bullshit based on choices no one ever gave you

never thinking twice about the people who die everywhere
until you see wreckage and it sends you running running scared
tell me what's a number the more it is the more they care
so if you die alone alone you're dead well that doesn't seem fair
but it's only lives we recognize that history will count
because this country couldn't give a fuck for anybody else
it doesn't matter if they die on our land or on theirs
foreign lives are no statistic when they're outnumbered by ours

pride in race and nation can't you see it's such a joke
cause we're all born into different skin and land that we don't know
so your pissing match for power is just pissing in the wind
cause the war you're for like every war's the war that no one wins
