Lyrics

We don’t want your war [No, no, no, no]
Governmental misleaders
We don’t want your war
We see through your propaganda.
We don’t want your war
We uncover the true agenda
We don’t want your war

Murder
War; what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!
So many casualties: so many tragedies
So little sympathy for people caught in tyranny.
They have to take down an oppressive regime,
So hope invades with an M-16?
What about the human cost? How many lives lost?
Essential casualties to champion democracy.
Murder
Conflict, incursion, skirmish, invasion
Legalised murder, truth assassination
No such thing as a military solution
The real deal is a population execution
Sponsored by the corporate, committed by the government
Supported by the ignorant, inflicted on the innocent
We subsidise the arms trade making sure they get paid
To fund another air raid for this bullshit terror crusade.

CHORUS

Murder
Politians - they just keep on lying
Soldiers and their victims - they just keep on dying
Manipulate the papers and the broadcast news
Telling us of heroes who can never lose
Speeches of support are no protection from
An AK-47 or a suicide bomb
Never at the front, all they wanna do instead is
Salute and pin a medal on our glorious dead
Murder
Nationalistic Ha! Patriotic Ha!
Jingoistic Yeah! Xenophobic Yeah!
It aint about freedom, it aint about health
It aint about justice, it’s all about wealth
Wealth and power and greed and more
They’re the only business that they’re fighting for
War on terror, war on drugs
Are we gonna wage war on the corporate thugs?

CHORUS

Politicians telling me this is the way it has to be
So build more tanks and buy more guns to arm your daughters and your sons.
And pray the day will never come - A body bag for your loved one.
Did you get to say goodbye before that loved one had to die?
