COMPLICATED SUBJECT By Tom Jensen
It's such a complicated subject...
this matter of war
Traces back to the beginning of time...
if not before
Intertwined with our destiny
Throughout all our history
As the fate of humanity
Rests within this legacy
The true nature of man...
is not one of understanding
to say the least
The way it now stands...
This violence and bloodshed
shall never cease
There are four words
That'll never be
Our one sole belief
We come in peace
There are four words
That make me nervous
When I hear someone speak
We come in peace
For it seems to me
We'll all eventually
Suffer some kind of defeat
All genders and races
All colors of this crayon nation
All beliefs and creeds
Yet when we fight today
The battle cry is not Semper Fi
It's bleed green for corporate greed
Please take my eyes
Or take away these things
That I don't want to see
Still we try to perceive
all that's unperceivable
Still we strive to conceive
in what's inconceivable
Still we struggle to believe
in the unbelievable
Still we attempt to achieve
What is unachievable
It's such a complicated subject...
this matter of war
Traces back to the beginning of time...
if not before
Intertwined with our destiny
Throughout all our history
As the fate of humanity
Rests within this legacy
