OLD WARS
Back when these old wars were started
At the birth of the sun and the moon
Promises were made then a love was betrayed in the afternoon
The gates of the garden were broken
And the world set upon its own course
Now the magic of warfare makes it tragic to care for our sacred force
It’s back to the garden, just give us the sign
For suffering the marching orders out to the old frontline
We’ll go with the flag and make sure it’s showing
But only the wind will know which way it’s blowing
One little girl on her doorstep
Is crying ‘cause they killed her mum
She was shot in the head ‘cause she cried out instead of playing dumb
Half of her story we’ll keep
‘Cause half of it we want to use
If there’s something that they’ve got and it’s something that we want, we
choose our plot
And we go back to the garden, just give us the sign
For suffering the marching orders out to the old frontline
We’ll go with the flag and make sure it’s showing
But only the wind will know which way it’s blowing
Now it’s been ten years of warring
And they say we’ve accomplished our goals
We just did as it’s written, but we’re not so smitten with our resolve
And the people are sorry they asked
For a war now that they can all see
That these old wars are symptoms of the human condition stuck in emergency
Still it’s back to the garden, just give us the sign
For suffering the marching orders out to the old frontline
We’ll go with the flag and make sure it’s showing
But only the wind will know which way it’s blowing
