Honey, I Was Right About The War

Eight years ago on a summer night

On the streets of L.A was our first fight

It turned out to be the first of many more

The country was all in up rise

Who to blame and who to fight

And who to kill and bomb

To settle the score

You said "My love in times like these

You don't dare question the President"

And I raised my voice to the girl I most adore

I said "I know it's hard for you to see,

But I will not blindly follow one who blindly leads,

No matter what the cause"

Three thousand dead in N.Y.C

And now three thousand more across the sea

No-one could tell me what for

And I'm not one to say I told you so

But time has passed and now we know

That honey I was right about the war

A rich mans chess game is called a war

And the pawns they use are named the poor

And no-one ever wins

And I say for shame on anyone

Who orders young men to shoot a gun

For these gods you kill and die so easily for

And my dear the end is coming soon

Not for the earth, just me and you

And every other soul who shares the world

You kill a million men but ideas we'll still endure

People were not meant to shoot for sport

Goddammit I was right about the war
