Tanks
Folder:
songs 1st v-
You see them parachuting into your backyard.
They strap a tiny one to a tiny bomb and let him run.
And you blame it all on them.
What would you do if they did the same to you?
You know,
drop the bombs in a shock and awe
and killed your loved ones to?
Chorus #1-
They need to show us how its done
when they send the tanks in
one by one.
2nd V-
You say they died before they lived
but a heart beats enough for me to see
that they once bled.
We send the poor straight off the shore
to free them with our guns.
Genocide is an easy ride when you're on the right side.
2nd chorus-
They need to show us how its done.
When they send the tanks in
one by one.
Genocide is one hell of a ride
when you're on the other side.
So when the tanks come
one by one
would you run?
Or would you shoot them with your gun?
And we blame it all on them.
3rdv-
Are we over zealous or just plain selfish?
We raise our fists as if we wished
that they'd be raped and vanished.
But wait and think.
If they invaded and we were them
and had nothing left
then what would we do next?
Pre Chorus-
They strap a tiny one to a tiny bomb and let him run.
A car explodes and kills one of those who was your only son.
And we blame it all on them.
Chorus-
We need to show them how its done.
When they send the tanks in
one by one.
We need to shoot them while they run
because an empty soul with nothing to lose
is an enemy to become.
And we blame it all on them.
