INNOCENTS LOST
By Andy Jackson


LINE UP THE HUMANS, SEND THEM TO FIGHT
ASSIGN THEM A NUMBER, TURN OUT THEIR LIGHT
THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES, PLUNGED INTO DARKNESS
THE GOVERNMENTS RIGHT

INNOCENT CHILDREN DIE IN THEIR BEDS
INNOCENCE GONE FROM THE SOLDIERS HEAD
TWISTED DECISIONS, WITHOUT FEAR WE MARCH,
INTO THE FUTURE, INTO THE GRAVE

PROTECTING THE PEOPLE BY KILLING THEM FIRST,
THROUGH PROPOGANDA WE’RE DOING OUR WORST,
BRAINWASH US PUPPIES AND TELL US WE’RE SPECIAL,
IT ALWAYS WORKS,

INNOCENT PEOPLE, SHOT IN THE FACE,
INNOCENCE CRUMBLING ALL OVER THE PLACE,
THE LEADERS JUST SIT SIPPING WINE,
IT’S FINE, THEY HAVE THE TIME

WHAT IS THE GAIN, FROM KILLING THEIR KIDS ?
THEY’RE JUST LIKE OUR KIDS,THEY JUST WANT TO LIVE,
WE’RE IN THE SAME BOAT, TO KEEP IT AFLOAT,                              
WE SHOULD WORK TOGETHER, NOT JUST KILL EACH OTHER

INNOCENT CHILDREN GET SHOT IN THEIR BEDS,
INNOCENCE GONE FROM THE SOLDIERS HEAD
TWISTED DECISIONS OF PUBLIC FEAR,                              
LETTING THE POWER STEER,

INNOCENT PEOPLE SHOT SQUARE IN THE FACE,
DEATH CLOWDING BLINDNESS THROUGHOUT THE PLACE,
THE LEADERS ARE STILL SIPPING WINE,
THAT’S FINE, THEY’VE ALWAYS GOT THE TIME,

WAR, KILLING THE POOR, OUR FIGHTERS ARE DYING,
THEIR FIGHTERS ARE DYING, FOR NO REASON THEIR ALL DYING,
             JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES,
BLOCK OUT THE LIES
