What's the point?


There you go with your war paint

Humanity so faint

Your guns ready to cause bloodshed

Not caring about the families affected

Because your mindless brains are infected

All you care about is giving a good fight

And when we think it’s finally over

Y’all find a way this start it all over

Why do we always want to fight?

To prove our way is right?

Or is it that we want others to fear us?

Instead of working together

We rather fight forever

People rather reach for guns

Instead reaching for peace

These endless wars need to cease

But there will be someone who wants power

Someone who wants to be right

Always want to start these fights

To prove that they are better

Instead of causing blood pollution

They need to find a poverty solution

There are children out there without anything

And they fight for some bragging rights

 

The sooner they realize that no one ever wins

The sooner everyone will start winning
