For The Nation Lyrics

Ida Jenshus For The Nation

You go for the gun
You're all for defence
They can't harm your pride
You won't run like a child
And you lost your innocence
The day you sent your men

'Cause you've started a war that shouldn't be
Fighting an imaginary enemy
And you say this for the nations sake
So is killing the best you can do
For the nation

Two arrows crashed into a hive
It woke the bees and made them come alive
And we're flying up here without any power to change
Or any influence

Maybe we started a war that shouldn't be
Fighting an imaginary enemy
And we say we do this for the nations sake
So is killing the best you can do
For the nation

So maybe we should take a second look
We turn our backs when we accept
Now we're needed more than ever
In these battles of the world
Not with weapons
But with love
