Ben Lee - White people for peace (Against me! cover)

Artist : Ben Lee
Song : White people for peace
Album : Sings Against me! new wave (2007)


East and west could not agree
So their generals gave a call and gathered at the border
With guns ready, drawn and aimed
each side was praying to a god
to bless them with strength and courage
it was in his name that artillery lit the sky on fire
the people sang protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest Songs in a response to Military Aggression
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
But the battle raged on......

Sirens filled the air and the ground shook with war
Civilian casualties has been a cost that was predetermined
when interviewed for report victims pleaded in frustration
Their claim: That this was a war without reason
Bureacrats enraged in debate to try and reach a resolution
the people sang protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest Songs in a response to Military Aggression
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
But the battle raged on......

The Broadcast like their prayers went unanswered and ignored
god, like the rest of the world, just watched in silence
There was purpose to be served, there were fortunes to be earned
before a peace could be called to stop a war

Protest Songs in a response to Military Aggression
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
But the battle raged on......

people, let's treat this for what it is, a tribute to against me!

and besides, it's way slower and softer, but not bad. so i'd say it's cool

Some people like to be happy instead of having a bleeding heart for every injustice in the universe. I might be complacent, but I have joyyyy.

not quite

When someone really loves an album so much that go and make a full cover album of it, I'm not gonna go and criticize him

[seanmchughinfo]

No dude I like it. The intensity is still very much there. You can hear it in the guitar and the haste in the singers voice. This is a pretty kick ass song!

[domm123]

it sounds nice, but I find the message is less in your face, less raw sounding like the way its originally sung, and I much prefer that. Either way the cover is well done
