[Verse 1] We are sending sheep To be hunted by wolves Instead of protecting The sheep at home We would rather Everything go to war Then simply all live In peace It’s too much to ask for I know But we all can dream We all can dream [Pre-Chorus] So many pointless projects Not enough outcome The world is seeing through it The lies And we are weeping For the real problems now No one cares No one cares [Chorus] Sending boys to their deaths Sending boys to their deaths That is not a victory If boys are dying in war No country is great No country is great [Verse 2] This beautiful world is dying Everything for greed I know money is important But morals are the need This place is falling And no one is caring This place is burning And we keep fueling it Rich men never fought a war Why do we send mothers Why do we send fathers To die for other countries [Pre-Chorus] When ours is failing Nothing Sending girls and boys away For words they don’t believe They come back broken Or they don’t come back at all And we still call that proud We still call that proud [Chorus] Sending boys to their deaths Sending boys to their deaths That is not a victory If boys are dying in war No country is great No country is great [Bridge] All I want is simple A life that doesn’t break A hand to build the table A future we can make Not graves for good men Not flags on broken homes Not more mothers crying For a war they never chose [Final Chorus] Sending boys to their deaths Sending boys to their deaths That is not a victory If boys are dying in war No country is great No country is great Sending boys and girls Sending boys and girls To fight what they don’t know We all can dream We all can dream Let the children grow
