The drums are beating in Washington again
Calling for another senseless war
The strategy of destruction
The calculation of collateral damage
Maps, charts, battle plans
Generals and diplomats
Senators and lawyers
Insist that our way of life
Depends on how many others we can destroy
They never mention the harm we do ourselves
By destroying others
But when you’re far from the battlefield
Removed from the horror
Safe from harm and sacrifice
From death
It’s easy to spill someone else’s blood
