As the bombs fall out of the sky And the houses burn and the bullets fly Hear the dying scream, hear the wounded cry You say you’re building a democracy As the car bombs and the mortars explode And the fighter jets release a lethal load See the bodies of children lying dead on the road You say it’s not hypocrisy See the angry men burning effigies While the foreign troops torture detainees And the innocent are bеgging on their knees You’re pursuing a philosophy Is an act divine whеn it’s written in blood? Are a people free when they’re dead in the mud? Have you stopped the leak or have you started a flood? This is an atrocity Killing a family won’t get you to heaven Saluting a flag won’t make your country secure It’s time to say no to this unholy destruction As the sirens wail behind the fire fight And the homeless people cower in fright Is it the strength of conviction, or does might make right? I question your theology Inside the body bags and the makeshift graves Lie endless examples of an action depraved You’re not “freedom fighters”, you’re compassion betrayed And I make no apology Killing a family won’t get you to heaven Saluting a flag won’t make your country secure It’s time to say no to this unholy destruction As the bombs fall and the houses burn Hear the dying scream Your say you're building a theocracy Is an act divine when it’s written in blood? Are a people free when they’re dead in the mud? Have you stopped the leak or have you started a flood? This is an atrocity Killing a family won’t get you to heaven Saluting a flag won’t make your country secure It’s time to say no to this unholy destruction
