Bombs Bomb Away

Born to a world of sorrow and pain Born to a time of so much disdain For those who find joy in the eyes of a child And beauty in light, and calmness of mind So, bombs bomb away And kill another man No thought of the cost Rebuilding the land So, bombs bomb away And kill some mother’s son Make sure to send a note Of how we had won So, bombs bomb away Bombs bomb away Blow them to dust Bombs bomb away Why do you think you must? Imagine a time of purity and peace Of body and mind, of land and sea But history has told of no such tale: “The gods did war with the demons in the air” So, bombs bomb away And kill another man No thought of the cost Rebuilding the land So, bombs bomb away And kill some mother’s son Make sure to send a note Of how we had won So, bombs bomb away Bombs bomb away Blow them to dust Bombs bomb away Why do you think you must? A religion of man, if only we could see A life of hope and eternity No more war, no pain, no grief Transcending this shell, ascending to peace So, bombs bomb away And kill another man No thought of the cost Rebuilding the land So, bombs bomb away And kill some mother’s son Make sure to send a note Of how we had won So, bombs bomb away Bombs bomb away Blow them to dust Bombs bomb away Why do you think you must?
