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
