(feat. Tim McIlrath of Rise Against)
|
We request to negotiate
|
We come to you unarmed
|
We desire to communicate
|
You cannot do us harm
|
|
For one sacrifice,
|
they have schemes and ask me to follow their path to the afterlife
|
I've got an appetite
|
for nice things and the dreams that my enemies could be blasted by
|
Ooh metaphors
|
Views that are better for you can't survive or find your competitor
|
Rise together
|
Ooh Fight separate wars i pray I'm never forced to be a predator
|
|
Suspecting we won't last
|
They're glad to hate but gladiators breed their last
|
Scream or mash for their dreams do clash
|
Like swords in the war let me bleed on that
|
Put the heat on that
|
Cept we need strong backs
|
You call us weak and don't redeem contracts
|
Well this speech won't last
|
If the beast attacks
|
The sons and the fathers will be free at last
|
|
This is love, and not treason
|
This is love, and not treason
|
This is love, and not treason
|
This is love, and not treason
|
|
They see sharks in the estuary
|
They claim the arch of Bartholomew's
|
They say war is necessary
|
But we say war is child abuse
|
|
We'd rather make our children (We request to negotiate)
|
Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed)
|
We'd rather make our children (We desire to communicate)
|
White Flag Warriors (You cannot do us harm)
|
|
Take to the core they're the one's we've been waiting for
|
We hold steady, steady on the step of door
|
The type of you are matadors and matadors are capable
|
Forgive the death and settle scores and test the metal and the ore
|
|
What's your plan go to do with me?
|
If the bell told us let freedom ring
|
And find the new ways that we must be king
|
Instead of leading the young to our suffering
|
|
The past test of this
|
Now screams back in heaven
|
For testing us like wednesdays at 11
|
Want to recruit and train us to act evilly
|
Save it for the shooting range
|
So back DVD
|
|
Just tell me want no more this millennia
|
It's never again for me or anyone
|
So think harder when you refer to us
|
Rather make our children martyrs than murders
|
|
This is love, and not treason
|
This is love, and not treason
|
This is love, and not treason
|
This is love, and not treason
|
|
They shell dwellings to quell the shellings
|
And lift taboos and seduce the countings
|
They say we're too yellow bellied
|
But we say we're the new superpower
|
|
We'd rather make our children (We request to negotiate)
|
Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed)
|
We'd rather make our children (We desire to communicate)
|
White Flag Warriors (You cannot do us harm)
|
|
We seek ways to not be liable
|
We claim to speak for a higher truth
|
We stand opposed to the homicidal
|
We tell you you are fire proof
|
|
We'd rather make our children (We request to negotiate)
|
Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed)
|
We'd rather make our children (We desire to communicate)
|
White Flag
|
Warriors
|
We'd rather make our children
|
We'd rather make our children
|
|
Do what you want to our courage
|
Ask us what you will
|
Demand from us a sacrifice
|
But do not make us kill
|
