Selfish egos of War
Politicians start battles that soldiers must fight. Big talk, no backbone, hiding out of sight.
They tweet their threats from a gold-trimmed chair, while sirens scream in the cold night air. They spin their lies, making tempers rise, their words spark fires they never touch, Just watching from windows while we bleed too much.
They promise “peace” with a clenched-up jaw
But every word bends the truth to the law. Trading young lives for their power and dreams.
While power- hungry cowards keep asking for more.
And if justice had a drum, it’d pound through the floor,
Shaking loose every greed-sealed door. ’Cause we’re done marching for men who roar thinking they are kings and above the law
Mothers hold children and try not to cry.But it’s hungry kids who pay the score.
Selfish egos ain’t worth dying for.
Cause selfish egos don’t fight the war.
