Bombs Away Part One

The TV said the bombs were falling All over Belgrade/Baghdad, Libya, Syria And a thousand other lands All over the world The bombs were falling down All over the place Yes, the bombs were falling And I thought While walking down the street Why? Why yet again Do we think we can bomb our way Into peace and prosperity Why, Oh God, do we need to bomb yet again A country far away For a purpose that is not our own Oh, the President and the Secretary of State They have their reasons The Senators and Congressmen too The soldiers, sailors and marines All have their reason To unleash the power and passion and danger Of the horrible evil weight of the bombs And the military industrial state The deep state make a fortune Selling the bombs to the government Every bomb is a money maker A million bucks per bomb And they need millions of bombs Bombs away But the bombs don't know They don't care who you are All they do is fall and blow things up And kill everything in their wake That's what bombs do That's the thing that bombs do We don't understand It's a bomb sort of thing The bombs keep falling The TV screen shows lights and show And the bombs keep falling The TV does not show The innocent children Who die tonight Because the bombs fell Were the children asked? Were the mothers consulted Were the sons and daughters thought about? No The bombs don't consult They merely fall and kill and maim And blow everything up in their sight The bombs keep falling And a million souls die and go to hell Satan in his lair Is happy He says to himself The bombs keep falling More and more people are drawn To the dark side The hatred and fear and violence Keep it up The bombs keep falling And falling And we walk around in our streets Far away from where the deaths occur The dead don't scream out to us We don't care The bombs don't care They keep falling Doing their bomb thing And I wonder, yes, I wonder What price do we pay As a human race For the death, the destruction of the bombs In this day and age Many doubt that God exist And most of us don't believe in Satan either But the bombs They know Satan has won We are all living in Hell And soon Satan will arise And rule us forever For we have given into our hatred and evil side God is watching us and says to himself They have chosen the bombs Let them have them Bombs away forever
