[Verse 1] Smoke rises to the sky again. Again, the wail of sirens And airstrikes For the black gold Lying deep within the earth. So many faces in the news, So many lying phrases, So many broken lives— For someone else's fat profit, They pay with children's blood. [Pre-Chorus] But we see it all, We will not stay silent. This isn't our bill to pay; We don't want war. [Chorus] No to wars for oil, No to wars for oil. We don't need graves For someone else's gain. No to wars for oil, No to wars for oil. The Earth isn't for war; It's for life. [Verse 2] A tanker is burning, Leaving a black trail on the water; It smells of soot, fuel oil, and fear. Some will never see land again; Where there was a sunrise yesterday, Now there is only darkness for them. They lay down pipelines, And a web of steel Ensnars the world. But every step we take Is against those who fired the shots. [Pre-Chorus] But we stand up, Shoulder to shoulder. This world isn't theirs; I won't give it up—I refuse. [Chorus] No to wars for oil, No to wars for oil. We don't need graves For someone else's gain. No to wars for oil, No to wars for oil. The Earth isn't for war; It's for life. [Bridge] Let their treaties crack, Let their words burn away. You can't buy us with petrodollars, You can't break us completely. We stand shoulder to shoulder, And the Earth will hear us. This is our tomorrow—do you hear? This is our answer to them, right now. [Final Chorus] No to wars over oil No to wars over oil We don't need graves For someone else's profit No to wars over oil No to wars over oil The Earth is not for war It is for life
