Take Power Off Of The Waring Kind

From Hiroshima to 9/11 proof of man's inhumanity you'll find
To the innocent and unprotected of his fellow humankind
Get rid of nuclear weapons, of bombs, fighter planes and guns
'Tis not for fighting and dying in wars that parents raise their daughters and sons
Take power off of the non fighting warriors who to their power base cling
They start wars and cause the deaths of thousands yet their praises we do sing
We only need the rule of law not Nationalistic pride
Spread amongst the population by those who send the young to war saying god is on our side,
There is no such a thing as a superior race despite what some do say
That sort of thinking leads to war and we read and hear of every day
Another war or threat of war in the name of the greater god
And those who suffer in a war are the poor and the downtrod
And wars are started every day by those who seek more power
And the flower of peace for some time now is a slowly withering flower.
