Ollie Black - Stop The Wars Lyrics

I don't care about your reasons, I don't care about your lies
I don't wanna hear your "but" when children die before our eyes
It's not about your oil, it's not about your greed
It's not about the politics or the prayers that you need
Can't you see the mothers cryin', can't you see the fathers fall?
Those kids could be your own, behind those crumbled walls

Stop the wars, can't you hear them scream?
Stop the wars, it's not a distant dream

Stop it now, stop it now
Lay your guns on the ground, right now!

I don't care about your borders, I don't care about your fight
Those women out there bleeding, they could be your wife tonight
It's not about the flags you wave, or the faith that you defend
It's the people in the ashes, the lives you never mend
Can't you see the old men dying, they could be your own granddad
How many lives will it take for you to stop this madness you have?

Stop the wars, can't you hear them scream?
Stop the wars, it's not a distant dream

Stop it now, stop it now
Lay your guns on the ground, right now!

I don't care about your power, I don't care about your pride
Tell me, is your hatred worth all those children that have died?
It's not about your throne, or the riches you pretend
When you go to bed at night, do you feel it when they end?
Can't you see the broken bodies, the shattered hopes and dreams?
How long before you realize this nightmare never redeems?

Stop the wars, can't you hear them scream?
Stop the wars, it's not a distant dream

Stop it now, stop it now
Lay your guns on the ground, right now!

What do you see when you close your eyes?
Do you hear the bombs, or the silent cries?
Do you feel the fear, or the empty streets?
When all you've built, just turns to defeat?

I don't care about your reasons, I don't care about your pain
But the blood that's on your hands won't wash away with rain
It's not about the medals, or the flags you fly up high
It's about the lives you've wasted in the name of some big lie
Can't you see the soldiers dying, with no reason left to give?
They've got wives and children waiting, don't they deserve to live?

Stop the wars, can't you hear them scream?
Stop the wars, it's not a distant dream

Stop it now, stop it now
Lay your guns on the ground, right now!

I don't care about your reasons, I don't care about your lies
Just stop the wars, stop the wars before another child dies.
Stop it now, stop it now
Lay your guns on the ground, right now!
