Bombs Away Part Two

And the bombs don't stop to think They don't laugh They merely fall and kill and destroy The bombs keep falling And tomorrow and the next day The generals will talk The talk And walk the walk And proclaim the great victory And the dead with have no voice The dead children's screams of terror Will not be heard in the courts of power The bombs will have won And we will all of us pay a price For all of us are the bombers And none of us are innocent We are all guilty of war crimes We should all be condemned to Hell But I forget sometimes We are in hell And God is far away Running away in shame From what he had created Satan is happy The bomb makers are ecstatic Another million dollars gone And another million dollar sale The bombers are proud The dead are merely dead And the bombs, the bombs Keep falling and falling Forever The bombs keep falling
