Murderous War Lyrics

I'm lining my pockets and bedspread in red

Just as long as the mortgage and baby are fed

Nobody told me my words could build feasts

Or these fragile feet could march for peace

So I live like there's nothing to cry for

Kill like it's our only survival

Watch teenage flesh cradle a rifle

In this murderous, murderous, murderous

In this murderous war

Business bones spend their kidneys on Marylebone road

Homeless Billy is dreaming, out in the cold

His ribcage of love will have no place to go

Mister presidents talking bout nuclear war

He

Lives like there's nothing to cry for

Kills like it's our only survival

Sends teenage flesh out with a rifle

In this murderous, murderous, murderous

In this murderous war

But the black birds of conscience sing out on a wire

The windows are open, the lights are turned out

They're bodies are rising like chariots of fire

Speak in tongues full of peace and I am inspired, inspired

I won't

Live like there's nothing to cry for

Kill like it's my only survival

Watch teenage flesh cradle a rifle

In this murderous, murderous, murderous

In this murderous war

Many tears falling, he comes calling

Shivering a prayer, for bullet free air

Desperate eyes call a heavy generation

Saying: "Play a part for peace!"

Not simply

Live like there's nothing to cry for

Kill like its our only survival

Send teenage flesh out with a rifle

In this murderous, murderous, murderous

Murderous war

There must be more, must be more we can do

There must be more we can do

There must be more, must be more we can do

There must be more we can do
