I'd Rather Go

I’d rather go before they start A war of larger scale Love is forever in my heart And peace will never fail They’ll fight forever this I know Its obvious to me There is no end in final war Cause that was meant to be In case I’ll die before, they’ll cross One name from their lists I wouldn’t pay the victim’s cost Either I won’t be missed Let’s face it, I cannot provide A peace on planet Earth And if you can, give it a try I doubt if its worth No slogan stops the war, no word Can stop it, and no action Agreements look like sheer absurd No effort works, no sanction The war expands, the evil rules I’ve no resource to wait I’d rather go before the fools Will shoot me in their hate.

Indeed, we, common people, are poles apart with politicians. They run their own world, full of resentment and ideas of dominance. They use us to achieve their "supreme" goals they count the most fair for whatever reason, they never reveal what is that reason that makes them produce wars and troubles, why should they sacrifice millions for getting to a point of complete disaster.
