Verse 1] One hundred years since the bombs started And spread their peace to the world It blossomed in the blood of men As the dirt moved slow like a river Borders were drawn and redrawn And drawn agin when the boys crossed Raising guns high, wiping clean their boots As the tears fell and minds broke [Pre-Chorus] Across the lines Men of power raise glasses And draw new lines in the dirt New trenches for the blood of boys [Chorus] A small price to pay, they say A small price to pay Peace draws the lines Peace draws the lines Blood feeds the ground Blood feeds the ground Its a small price to pay [Verse 2] We fall in thousands across the plains And tumble down the mountains We drown in the sea as it swells red And leave our heroes laying still Do they whistle when the wind blows Cheer as the flesh is torn from bones How bold must one be to command Sending the children out under the bombs [Pre-Chorus] Demanding their last possession For a cause they say For righteousness Because we liberate with destruction [Chorus] A small price to pay, they say A small price to pay Peace draws the lines Peace draws the lines Blood feeds the ground Blood feeds the ground Its a small price to pay [Bridge] We rebuild with paper from our pockets Chaos reigns in peace Death dwells in divinity Liberty lives in loss Blood breeds the paper Paper piles in pockets Pockets buy the bombs Bombs bring the peace [Final Chorus] A small price to pay, they say A small price to pay Peace draws the lines Peace draws the lines Blood feeds the ground Blood feeds the ground Its a small price to pay They say.
