Oil And Blood
This damn war
lives went out the door
people watching television
because they think they learn more
some people had to die
we all really wonder why
the bigger picture and one larger lie
no ones sure until the details
fall into place
fighting lives
we just can't replace
the opposing factor
saving face
guns and bullets blood and fire
oil and money raise the stakes even higher
shameful fighting human race
we somehow knew it might
unfold into this all along
all wars can't be right
and must be deemed all wrong
