THE NOBEL WAR PRIZE - GABBERTS

Intro (spoken – slow, deliberate) They call it… The Nobel Peace Prize… But sometimes… Names don’t tell the truth… ⸻ Verse 1 They call it the Nobel Peace Prize A really misleading name To call it the Nobel War Prize Could never be a shame! It supposed to honour peacemakers People who quiet the strife But too many recipients Bring war instead of life ⸻ Chorus (strong, repeatable) 🎵 Call it what it really is! The Nobel War Prize! Dress it up in fancy words But truth don’t wear disguise! Call it what it really is! No need to prettify! When blood on history’s pages Still crying out — “why?” ⸻ Verse 2 Take for example Kissinger A one-man wrecking machine No matter how they dress him up He never will look clean He cause so many deaths From Asia down the line Cambodia still remember That bloody, bitter time ⸻ Verse 3 Pol Pot was a fringe man Then power shift the game Government overthrow And history take the blame Cambodia had eight million souls Two million gone in pain And the man tied to that chapter Still collect a prize again ⸻ Chorus Call it what it really is!

The Nobel War Prize! History watching everything Through unblinking eyes! Call it what it really is! No need to prettify! Truth go rise eventually No matter how they try! ⸻ Outro (spoken) They call it peace… But the people know…
