Stop It Now |
| by David Mclauchlan |
| Stop it now It's only the innocent who get hurt in war The soldiers It's their job They get paid to die The politicians They should be dead anyway For letting it get this far Stop it now Before either of you miss another target And hit more civilians Or will you admit Civilians are always targets And your excuses are as dead as your enemies And you are just as bad As you say the other side is So stop it now Before you run out of targets And have to include yourselves Among the carnage |
