Sheila Nicholls War Isn't Working
The war isn't working
their children go hungry
and ours are born with no souls
and the karma comes back ten-fold.
Old white boys can't see an end,
lose their patience and have to pretend
by drawing on histories that should never have been
written.
To kill is Neanderthal but ya'll seem smitten, (well..)
War they say will end this bloodshed.
War they say will ease the pain.
Well we'll bring these criminals to justice
while dropping more bombs from planes.
Oh hypocrisy is really boring,
little boys with too big toys.
(And) Viagra can't jump start your brain cells,
Point at your dick shoot guns, make noise. (and well..)
(Well,) don't tell me your maps are outdated
did the dog eat your homework too?
And don't deeply regret a thousand dead civilians
just know that your numbness may eat your children and
you.
Oh, the war isn't working.
