White Flag Warrior |
Jonny 5: |
We request to negotiate |
We come to you unarmed |
We desire to communicate |
You cannot do us harm |
Jonny 5: |
They want sacrifice: they had schemes and asked me to follow their path to the afterlife |
I’ve got an appetite for nice things and pipe dreams |
that my enemies could be blasted by New metaphors view that are better for |
you, can’t survive if I’m your competitor |
Rise together or fight separate wars |
I pray I’m never forced to be a predator |
Brer Rabbit: |
Spectres spectate, we won’t last |
We glad to hate when gladiators breathe their last |
Scream en masse when the dreams do clash |
Like the swords in the wars, let me bleed on that |
Let me feed on that, say we need strong backs |
Call us weak if we don’t redeem contracts |
But the feast wont last; |
when the beast attacks |
The sons and the fathers will be free at last |
Tim McIlrath: |
This is love; |
it’s not treason |
This is love; |
it’s not treason |
This is love; |
it’s not treason |
This is love; |
it’s not treason |
This is love |
Jonny 5: |
They see sharks in the estuary |
They claim the ark is Bartholemew’s |
They say «War is necessary» |
But we say, «War is child abuse» |
Tim McIlrath/Jonny 5: |
We’d rather make our children (We request to negotiate) |
Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed) |
We’d rather make our children (We desire to communicate) |
White Flag Warriors |
Brer Rabbit: |
Take to the core we’re the one’s we’ve been waiting for |
We hold steady, steady on the step of door |
The type of you are matadors and matadors are capable |
Forgive the death and settle scores and test the metal and the ore |
What’s your plan go to do with me? |
If the bell tolls us let freedom ring |
And find the new ways that we must be king |
Instead of leading the young to our suffering |
Jonny 5: |
We pass testaments down scream back at heaven |
For testing us like Wednesdays at eleven |
Wanna recruit and train us to act evilly? |
Save it for the shooting range and smack DVDs |
Won’t study war no more this millennium |
It’s never again to me or anyone |
So think harder when you refer to us Rather make our children martyrs than murderers |
Tim McIlrath: |
This is love; |
this is not treason |
This is love; |
this is not treason |
This is love; |
this is not treason |
This is love; |
this is not treason |
This is love |
Jonny 5: |
They shell dwellings to quell the shelling |
They lift taboos to seduce the cowards |
They say we’re too yellow-bellied |
But we say we’re the new superpower |
Tim McIlrath/Jonny 5: |
We’d rather make our children (We request to negotiate) |
Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed) |
We’d rather make our children (We desire to communicate) |
White Flag Warriors (You cannot do us harm) |
Jonny 5: |
We seek waivers to not be liable |
We claim to speak for a higher truth |
We stand opposed to the homicidal |
We tell you you’re fireproof |
Tim McIlrath/Jonny 5: |
We’d rather make our children (We request to negotiate) |
Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed) |
We’d rather make our children (We desire to communicate) |
White Flag Warriors |
Jonny 5: |
Give to us your courage |
Ask us what you will |
Demand from us a sacrifice, |
But do not make us kill |
