Title: We Seek No Wider War Artist: Phil Ochs		View related videos No view related videos
Over the ashes of blood marched the civilized soldiers, over the ruins of the French fortress of a failure over the silent screams of the dead and the dying saying please be reassured, we seek no wider war. The treaties were signed, the country was split into sections but growing numbers of prisons were built for protection rapidly filling with people who called for elections But please be reassured, we seek no wider war. Ngo Dinh Diem was the puppet who danced for the power The hero of hate who gambled on hell for his hour Father of his country was stamped on the medals we showered but please be reassured, we seek no wider war. Machine gun bullets became the bloody baptizers and the falcon copters don't care if someone's the wiser but the boy in the swamp didn't know he was killed by advisers So please be reassured, we seek no wider war. And fires were spitting at forests in defoliation while the people were pressed into camps not called concentration and the greater the victory the greater the shame of the nation but please be reassured, we seek no wider war. While we were watching the prisoners were tested by torture and vicious and violent gasses maintained the order as the finest Washington minds found slogans for slaughter but please be reassured, we seek no wider war. Then over the border came the Bay of Pigs planes of persuasion All remaining honor went up in flames of invasion But the shattered schools never learned that it's not escalation But please be reassured, we seek no wider war. We're teaching freedom for which they are yearning While were dragging them down to the path of never returning But, we'll condescend to talk while the cities are burning But please be reassured, we seek no wider war. And the evil is done in hopes that evil surrenders but the deeds of the devil are burned too deep in the embers and a world of hunger in vengeance will always remember So please be reassured, we seek no wider war, we seek no wider war. ----------------- We Seek No Wider War Phil Ochs Artist Title You may need specific spelling of the name of the song and artist.		*Phil Ochs Other lyrics Your Eyes Will Taste Of The Flowers  Artist:Phil Ochs You Should Have Been Down In Mississppi  Artist:Phil Ochs You Can't Get Stoned Enough  Artist:Phil Ochs William Moore  Artist:Phil Ochs William Butler Yeats Visits Lincoln Park and Escapes Unscathed  Artist:Phil Ochs White Boots Marching In A Yellow Land  Artist:Phil Ochs Where were you in Chicago?  Artist:Phil Ochs Where There's A Will There's A Way  Artist:Phil Ochs When In Rome  Artist:Phil Ochs When I'm Gone  Artist:Phil Ochs When First Unto This Country  Artist:Phil Ochs What Are You Fighting For  Artist:Phil Ochs What's That I Hear?  Artist:Phil Ochs We Seek No Wider War  Artist:Phil Ochs Viet Nam  Artist:Phil Ochs United Fruit  Artist:Phil Ochs Too Many Martyrs  Artist:Phil Ochs Time Was  Artist:Phil Ochs This Old World Is Changing Hands  Artist:Phil Ochs Thirsty Boots  Artist:Phil Ochs
