Eternal War
from Death Dance by Violent Party
lyrics
I sit and watch my daughter
I wonder what awaits her future
With all of this mass genocide and war
Systematic oppression and the religiously insane
I only tell her the truth, despite its vile discretion
Because I don’t want her to develop the systematic obsession
What about the children?
What have we left for them that is worth living for?
What about the children?
Left to fight in this eternal war.
I whisper to my daughter,
“Don’t play into their game.
I’m sorry that this is all that is left.”
I will always try to hide her away from the pain
Children in the third world are starving
Taxes we pay are financing slaughter
Everyone can act like everything is fine,
But I will not lie to my daughter
Material possessions, institutionalized by education
Drones created by the people in power, divided into nations
Pray to their God to solve problems, when their system begins to fail
Dissenters from this formula are captured, killed, or thrown into jail
I love my little girl, I will not lie to her like you
Call me a bad father, but my kids will know the truth
I wonder what awaits her future
With all of this mass genocide and war
Systematic oppression and the religiously insane
I only tell her the truth, despite its vile discretion
Because I don’t want her to develop the systematic obsession
What about the children?
What have we left for them that is worth living for?
What about the children?
Left to fight in this eternal war.
I whisper to my daughter,
“Don’t play into their game.
I’m sorry that this is all that is left.”
I will always try to hide her away from the pain
Children in the third world are starving
Taxes we pay are financing slaughter
Everyone can act like everything is fine,
But I will not lie to my daughter
Material possessions, institutionalized by education
Drones created by the people in power, divided into nations
Pray to their God to solve problems, when their system begins to fail
Dissenters from this formula are captured, killed, or thrown into jail
I love my little girl, I will not lie to her like you
Call me a bad father, but my kids will know the truth
