Smoke Or Fire - Honey, I Was Right About The War lyrics

Eight years ago on a summer night On the streets of L.A was our first fight It turned out to be the first of many more The country was all in up rise Who to blame and who to fight And who to k** and bomb To settle the score You said "My love in times like these You don't dare question the President" And I raised my voice to the girl I most adore I said "I know it's hard for you to see But I will not blindly follow one who blindly leads No matter what the cause" Three thousand dead in N.Y.C And now three thousand more across the sea No-one could tell me what for And I'm not one to say I told you so But time has pa**ed and now we know That honey I was right about the war A rich mans chess game is called a war And the pawns they use are named the poor And no-one ever wins And I say for shame on anyone Who orders young men to shoot a gun For these gods you k** and die so easily for And my dear the end is coming soon Not for the earth, just me and you And every other soul who shares the world You k** a million men but ideas we'll still endure People were not meant to shoot for sport Goddammit I was right about the war
