Protest The Hero - These Colours Don't Run lyrics

[Protest The Hero - These Colours Don't Run lyrics]

(They do however slaughter innocent millions
World wide every year)

It's so egregious so conspicuously wrong
(so wrong)
Tens of thousands of people vilified and
Killed by the means of (western) hypocrisy
The double standard of the ways
Of Mao Ze Dong
(killing for crimes against country)

1998 the Clinton administration
Bombing the plant of Al –
Shifa was merely "retaliation"
This move would prove detrimental
To so many lives, and day by day the death
Toll is forced to rise

Bombings won't justify bombings
Death will not justify death
Death it'self justifies nothing
(nothing will come of it)

Terrorism as defined by official
US documents is "the
Calculated use of violence or
Threat of violence to attain goals that
Are political, religious
Or ideological instate"

A labeled rouge state, Look at your self

The Rockets red glare
(red like the blood you have spilled)
The bombs bursting in air
(anonymous graves you have filled)
In the name of humanitarian
Intervention will not cease
(will not cease) although by definition
They're a terrorist act

Bombings won't justify bombings
Death will not justify death
Death it'self justifies nothing
Nothing will come of it

Nothing will come of it

Bombings won't justify bombings
Death will not justify death
Death it'self justifies nothing
Nothing will come of it

Bombings bombings won't justify bombings
Death will not justify death
Death it'self justifies nothing
Nothing will come of it
