Lyrics For The Fallen - Tim O'Brien

For The Fallen

The seeds of this war were sewn in our father’s time
And every bomb will plant some more fear and hate
Let’s break this chain of history before it gets too late
How many men will choose to run with the mad dog
How many more will have to die at his bloody hand
And who will shield our children from this plague that kills our land
I close my eyes and ears, don’t want the news
I will not watch them play the scenes again
Don’t ask me who’s side I’m on, or what I think about it
Cause I don’t want to play that game, I’m not buyin in
What do you need to get through the daytime
What do you need to get through the night
Who made these rules and who’s to say who’s wrong and who is right
