lyrics

No no we don’t need no war
Fighting is not what we were
born for
Get these politicians out of the door
These people are tired
This land is sore

Can you hear the sirens
Piercing through the air
Can you feel the fear
Growing despair
Death toll rises
Compassion decreased
Killing this country
Piece by piece

I said
No no we don’t need no war
Fighting is not what we were
born for
Get these politicians out of the door
These people are tired
This land is sore

I still hear the sirens
Piercing through the air
Pain and destruction
Growing despair
Death toll rises
Compassion decreased
Killing this brotherhood
Piece by piece

I said
No no we don’t need no war
Fighting is not what we were
born for
Get these politicians out of the door
These people are tired
This land is sore

It’s easier to wage war
than carve a way for peace
Send them out to fight
while you sit back at ease
Strip people from their feelings and humanity
to justify the hatred and lack of solidarity

People
Their strongest will is to survive
To fight the power structures
find creative ways to thrive
You seek solutions in modern warfare
but we can’t reach peace by striking from the air

So tear down these walls...

If our leaders can't
provide a clear vision for our future then
we shall fight our way to coexistence and
use our strongest tool it’s
our resistance
our persistence

Hear this
Their final word is only our beginning
Who profits from this war
and gets the "bling bling"
These walls may hold us back
but we are healing
forgiving.

So, tear down these walls...
