[Verse 1] [Vocals: Low, gritty, seething with quiet anger] The warning sirens echo through the broken streets While shadows stretch beneath the smoke and falling ash We watch the television screens repeat the horror Pretending that the violence is a distant clash The heavy engines keep on turning in the dark As endless convoys roll across the shattered ground It keeps on going while the leaders look away Ignoring every single desperate, pleading sound [Pre-Chorus] Hear the crying people searching through the dust! Trading all their golden futures for a pile of rust! [Chorus] STOP THE WAR! Look at the falling bombs! STOP THE WAR! Listen to the weeping moms! We are drowning in the madness of a bloody dawn And still this nightmare keeps on going on and on! (Going on and on!) [Verse 2] A generation sacrificed for lines upon a map Leaving nothing behind except a hollow grave The rivers run with poison from the ammunition And there is nobody descending from the sky to save They build the weapons in a sterile, quiet room Far away from all the terror and the blinding flash The crying people beg for just a little mercy While the generals are counting up the bloody cash [Pre-Chorus] Hear the crying people searching through the dust! Trading all their golden futures for a pile of rust! [Chorus] STOP THE WAR! Look at the falling bombs! STOP THE WAR! Listen to the weeping moms! We are drowning in the madness of a bloody dawn And still this nightmare keeps on going on and on! (Going on and on!) [Bridge] It keeps going on... The endless destruction... It keeps going on... Without an interruption... When will it stop? When will it stop?! (Scream) WHEN WILL IT STOP?! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] STOP THE WAR! Look at the falling bombs! STOP THE WAR! Listen to the weeping moms! We are drowning in the madness of a bloody dawn And still this nightmare keeps on going on and on! [Outro] Stop the war. Stop the falling bombs.
