Michael Franti, Spearhead, Radioactive - Bomb the World (Armageddon Version) lyrics

I don't understand the 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 unpatriotic
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
Engaged by 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
We can chase down all our enemies
Bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
Whoa 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 organisation tri lateral action
International sanctions, 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 remembrance 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
Power to the peaceful
And I say, love to the people y'all
Power to the peaceful
And I say, love to the people y'all
