"I Don't Wanna Pay For Your War" - draft

Work in progress - filmed by dangling my iPhone from the TV arm with a Heath-Robinson contraption made of elastic bands, a pen and a clothes peg :) Lyrics below:

"I Don't Wanna Pay For Your War". cc Sam Batt 2011.

I Don't Wanna Pay For - Your War
I don't wanna pay for - your crimes
I Don't Wanna Pay For - Your War, no
I don't want what's on your conscience
Playing on mine

So give it back
My income tax
You spend it on
Aerial attacks and

I Don't Wanna Pay For - Your War, etc

Afghanistan
And in Iraq
Send in the boys with their high tech toys, yeah
But who comes back?
Coffins and wheelchairs
Shocked shells of men
Heading for therapy or prison




'Cause they killed someone's children

I Don't Wanna Pay For - Your War, etc

Guantanamo




Interrogates




We've lost the right to silence now
You get kettled if you demonstrate
Our human rights
Our human wrongs
Are costing us our freedom, people
It's costing us a bomb, and

I Don't Wanna Pay For - Your War, etc

This is a really good song, I like the meaning of it to, I wish more people can write more powerful lyrics like these. I wish more people are like you in the sense where you know what's going on in the world. God bless your heart :-)
