Smoke
© sedl 2007

Hangin' round, watchin' TV
Big smoke is all that I see
Smoke of fires, smoke of war
Kinda fume of hate, now what is it for

Cigarette smoke / 19 year old boys
All those kids are just like little toys
In the hand of a few - hope it's not too late
Every single bullet creates new hate

Will they ever learn, will they ever learn
Will they ever learn, will they ever . . .

Soldiers die, I see them suffer
Might be your sons, might be your brothers
In a wasteland far away from home
And when they catch you, you are all alone

See children crying, see babies dieing
And I hear all those Fu. . . in' politicians lying
Smoke of rockets, smoke of planes
Half a nation's going insane

Will they ever learn, will they ever learn . . .

(solo)

Biggest joke, war for liberty
Now after all, what exactly means "free"?
Free to hear lies? Free to be bombed?
Even embryos out of the womb?

Tell you something 'bout war, don't let it take you away
'Cause you might need it some day:
No matter if "friend" or "enemy"
Casualties or cripples will never ever win!

Will they ever learn, will they ever learn . . .
