Текст песни Sting - This War
Sting - This War слова песни
You`ve got the mouth of a she wolfInside the mask of an innocent lambYou say your heart is all compassionBut there`s just a flat line on your cardiogramYet you always made a profit babyIf it was a famine or a feastYes, I`m the soul of indiscretion,I was cursed with x-ray vision,I could see right through all the lies you told,When you smiled for the televisionAnd you can see the coming battleYou pray the drums will never ceaseAnd you may win this war that`s comingBut would you tolerate the peace?Investing in munitions And those little cotton flagsInvest in wooden caskets In guns and body bags, guns and body bagsYour daddy was a businessmanAnd it always made good senseYou know the war can make you rich my friend In dollars, pounds and centsIn the temple that was Mammon`sYou were ordained the parish priestYes you may win this coming battleBut could you tolerate the peace?Invest in deadly weapons And those little cotton flagsInvest in wooden caskets In guns and body bagsYou`re invested in oppressionInvesting in corruptionInvest in every tyrannyAnd the whole world`s destructionI imagine there`s a futureWhen all the earthly wars are overYou may find yourself just standing thereOn the white cliffs of DoverYou may ask, what does it profit a manTo gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? Is that your body you see on the rocks belowAs the tide begins to roll?And you invested in this prisonFrom which you never got releasedYou may have won this war we`re fightingBut would you tolerate the peace?There`s a war on our democracyA war on our dissentThere`s a war inside religionAnd what Jesus might have meant There`s a war on mother natureA war upon the seasThere`s a war upon the forestsOn the birds and the beesThere`s a war on education A war on informationA war between the sexesAnd every nationA war on our compassion A war on understandingA war on love and life itselfIt`s war that they`re demandingMake it easy on yourselfAnd don`t do nothing
