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
