Bring the War Home |
| I threw my useless life |
| Into their wars and riots |
| For the ideal |
| To serve the ones I love |
| Yes, all too soon |
| No recognition for |
| My pointless sacrifice |
| And far too late I saw |
| I left my home defenceless |
| This world’s a slaughterhouse |
| And men like me are not the butchers |
| I brought justice to no one |
| But there was no doubt |
| It always stands to reason |
| Protect the just |
| Conquer the felons |
| Returned |
| Wounded and broken |
| But I never left these barren fields |
| And now I understand |
| There is no war to end all wars |
| Take it from me |
| Drowning your honest love |
| In mindless violence |
| I bring the war home |
| Still raging within me |
| All too soon |
| These children lost their fathers |
| And far too late I saw |
| That not for them I fought |
| The gods of profit |
| Led me into |
| Their battles |
| I never brought security |
| To those I wanted to protect |
| Feeding the machine |
| And staining this world |
| With blood instead |
| And only now I understand |
| There is no war to end all wars |
| Take it from me |
| Drowning your honest love |
| In mindless violence |
| I bring the war home |
| Still raging within me |
| Still raging within me |
| Take it from me |
| You’ll carry the war home |
| I brought justice |
| To no one |
| Now they spit me in the face |
| I did not recognize |
| The real offenders |
| And now I understand |
| There is no war to end all wars |
| Take it from me |
| Drowning your honest love |
| In mindless violence |
| I bring the war home |
| Still raging within me |
| We brought affliction to the masses |
| And splendour to a few |
| We are aggressors |
| Not defenders |
| Not defenders |
