Real Wars



You used to run by that lake, go out, capture snakes, go out farming with rakes, before the missiles shot out, before the soldiers got out, and we both knew there's no help in war,

and we both knew, it's worth fighting for, and don't judge the people living in peace, for the war, of course, will sooner decrease



so please, shut the killer machines down, 'cause I don't want the ground to go all brown
