Victims

Victims of forgotten wars

Forgotten lives

No one ever hears them cry no

Fallen soldiers under crimson sky

No one ever wonders why

The tanks come rolling in

You know they just can't win no

The politician lies

Innocent people die

A mother watches as her baby dies

A soldier starts to wonder why

Look up into the sky

Hear the bullets fly

Don't feel the horror in their hearts

As bullets tear their lives apart

Bodies burning in the madness

Can you still believe their lies?

Look around at the pain and the chaos

Smell the corpses putrefy

For some so called righteous cause

So many victims die

For the gains of the rich

So many poor must die

No feelings for the pained

Drowning in pools of blood

Never hear the mother's screams

Uncovering her dead child's limbs in the mud

Is a heroes welcome received

When he returns from war

Or just the pain and confusion

Of a guilt that he can't ignore

Unleashed weapons of destruction

Slaughtering the innocent overseas

A soldier comes back half a man

Begging for handouts on his knees

Oh those medals don't mean nothing

To you anymore

It was all for some rich man's gain

Now ask yourself what for

Sticks a needle in his arm

To help him ease the pain

Still hearing the screams of his dying friends

He searches for a vain

Mother stares out in the dark

Still remembers her baby's smile

Calling out her child's name

Living in total denial

The pain has reached both shores now

The system stays the same

Don't you see that we're just pawns

To their power games

Oh we won't take it won't be victims

Of their war

No we won't take it what have they

Got us fighting for?

We're just the victims of their war

We're all the victims of their war
