(Untitled)

We have a tendency
To believe and agree
To think is all about
Some war across the sea
Just Because
We saw it all on TV
Supposedly to preserve
Our Democracy
We sacrifice, armies
Of young and poor
Sentenced to death on foreign shore
Aligning them in infantry
To occupy some distant Country
Not enough budget to
Feed America's hungry
Or love, to slay Poverty
We kill welfare
To fuel warfare
Reduced Medicare
And researched an affair
It really is all about love
It really is all about love
At the root of most pain
There’s a lack there of
