If This Is Peace...(Original Song)

http://www.myspace.com/larkesongs

Inspired by something George Bush said about Iraq.

----------------------------------------

They're clearing coffins from the street,
Blackened, torn and twisted steel,
Seals the hatred deep within.

Civil War, Civil Strife,
No regard for human life.
We're just collateral.

If this is peace...

Sixty years have come and gone,
Still the battle rages on,
Who has lost and who has won?

Airborne fury in the East,
Soon to be unleashed.
Spread its wings around the world.

If this is peace...
If this is peace...
If this is peace...tell me what are they fighting for?
If this is peace...then what is war? (x2)

A generation raised in fright,
Streets aren't safe to walk at night.
Stunted growth behind locked doors.

The Media deals in death,
We cross our fingers, bated breath.
Hope to live just one more day.

If this is peace...
If this is peace...
If this is peace...tell me what are we fighting for?
If this is peace...then what is war? (x2)

(breakdown) then repeat chorus.

Underneath the killer's knife,
Starving hands beg for life,
When will their torment end?

If this is peace...
If this is peace...
If this is peace...tell me why are we under siege?
If this is peace...then what is war? If you want peace...then stop the war.
