new war songs


I need a song to get me ready
for this job I hate to do
I need a song to keep me steady
when I'm putting my hands on you

Need a song when I'm having trouble
finding anything remotely true
Need a song to keep me marching
when my shoes are worn completely through...

Need a song to change the question
when an answer can't be found
Need a song to keep me swimming
when I think I'm going to drown

Need a song to free my heart
when the chains have me bound
Need a song to lift me up
when the killing gets me down...

New war songs
for the new age pilgrim
New war songs
for the little children

New war songs
for the new world order
New war songs
for the new peace soldier.

Need a song to firm my resolve
when I'm getting ready to fight
Need a song to speed my steps
when I'm running for my life

Need a song for my reflection
when they're questioning my honor
Need a song for my perfection
when I'm putting on my armor

Need a song to clarify my goal
in the haze of the chemical market
Need a song to ease my soul
when I've killed the wrong target...

New war songs
for the new age pilgrim
New war songs
for the little children

New war songs
for the new world order
New war songs
for the new peace soldier

Some fight for the great escape from
illusions they've grown tired of --
while some fight for social standing
and some stand in line for love

Some fight for human rights
some never hear that call
Some fight for far too long
some never fight enough at all

Some fight for money
some fight to understand
Some fight for their country --
some only see disneyland

New war songs
for the new age pilgrim
New war songs
for the little children

New war songs
for the new world order
New war songs
for the new peace soldier
