Well the war drum's bangin'
And the flags are waving
Everything is so complicated
The new thing is a deadly invasion
With innocents dyin' and the death toll risin'
The whole thing is fucking horrible
Yet somehow painted as inevitable
With cities flattened and people fleeing
Lies are being told like they are something to believe in
And now I'm sitting in your car
Watching war crimes on my phone
Wondering when they'll send in the drones
I'm not sure if there's good guys
And bad guys anymore
Who's gettin' paid and who they're rooting for
I stand with the victims
Whoever they are
And I'm against the war
And it feels like no-one's even talking about peace
And pretty soon the narrative shifts
The news fades on the people who are suffering, and
Ramps up on the weapons we are gathering
The whole thing is fucking horrible
Yeah, someone is benefiting from it all
That is probably worth considering
That it's a fine day for Lockheed Martin
And now I'm on my laptop
Watchin' nuclear bombs explode
Learnin' all about the fallout zones
Not sure if this invasion
Is now a proxy war
That feeds the rich on the blood of the poor
I stand with the victims
Wherever they are
And I'm against the war
Against killing and against invading
Against doubling military spending
Boots on the ground and drones in the sky, yeah
Against corruption and media lies
Against anyone who profits from death
Against the military industrial complex
The end is either diplomatic
Or the destruction of the whole entire planet
Peace is what I'm standing for
And I'm against the war
