Blair Lies Other Peoples Kids Die

From Birmingham to Baghdad, Blair sent my son to war
to battle in a conflict based on Bush's baseless tales.
The bombs fell  like the lies from politicians  mouths
and the sons and daughters of ordinary people died. 

Blair sent out our soldiers without the slightest care 
As it will not be Tony Blair's sons lying on a desert floor.
With weapons of mass destruction that only existed in Blair's mind
and promises to Bush we will stand by your side. 

UN resolutions lay broken because of Blair's lies. 
Just like boys and girls who's fathers died. 
Soldiers sent to war with weapons that did not work.
and with a ratio of 1,000 Iraqis to every soldier who died. 

Don't let politicians bang the drums of war 
as it will be your sons and daughters that die in unjust wars.
Vote them out of office tell them where to go
release the doves of peace, and spread your love around the world.
