lowlands
Dit is niet leuk om te doen [letterlijk overtikken] / maar ik kon de tekst nergens "zo" vinden en vind wel dat iedereen 'm moet kunnen lezen!


bomb the world
armageddon version

i don't understand the whole reason why
you tellin' us all that we need to unify
rally round the flag
and beat the drums of war
sing the same old songs
ya know we heard em all before

you tellin me it's unpatriottic
but i call it what i see it
when i see it's idiotic
the tears of one mother
are the same as any other
drop food on the kids
while you're murderin' their fathers
but don't bother to show it on cnn
brothers and sisters don't believe them
it's not a war against evil
it's really just revenge
enganged on the poorest by the same rich men
fight terrorists wherever they be found
but why you not bombing tim mcveigh's hometown
you can say what you want propaganda television
but all bombing is terrorism

[chorus]
we can chase down all our enemies
bomb them to their knees
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we can't bomb it into peace
we may even find a solution
to hunger and disease
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we can't bomb it into peace

911
fire in the skies
many people died
and no one even really knows why
they tellin' lies of division and fear
we yelled and cried
no one listened for years
but like "who put us here?"
and who's responsible>
well there's no debatin'
cause if they ask me i say
it's big corporations
world trade organization
tri-lateral action
international sancions, satan
seems like it'll be an endless price tag
of wars tremendous
and most disturbingly
the death toll is so horrendous
so i send this to those
who say they defend us
send us into harm's way

we should all make a rememberance that
that this is bigger than terrorism
blood is blood is blood and um
love is true vision
who will listen?
how many songs it takes for you to see
you can bomb the world to pieces
you can't bomb it into peace

we can chase down all our enemies
bomb them to their knees
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we can't bomb it into peace
we may even find a solution
to hunger and disease
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we can't bomb it into peace

power to the peaceful
and i say, love to the peaceful
power to the peaceful
and i say, love to the peaceful

we can chase down all our enemies
bomb them to their knees
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we can't bomb it into peace
we may even find a solution
to hunger and disease
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we can't bomb it into peace
