No More
I speak for a man who gave for this land
Took a bullet in the back for his pay
Spilled his blood in the dirt and the dust
And he’s come back to say
What he has seen is hard to believe
And it does no good to just pray
He asks of us to stand
And we must end this war today
With his mind he’s saying, “No more”
With his heart he’s saying, “No more”
With his life he’s saying, “No more war”
With his eyes he’s saying, “No more”
With his body he’s saying, “No more”
With his voice he’s saying, “No more war”
Nothing’s too good for a veteran
Yeah, this is what they say
So nothing is what they will get
In this new American way
The lies that were told to get us to go
Were criminal, let us be straight
Let’s get to the point where our voices are heard
Behind the White House gates
With our minds we’re saying, “No more”
With our hearts we’re saying, “No more”
With our lives we’re saying, “No more war”
With our eyes we’re saying, “No more”
With our bodies we’re saying, “No more”
With our voices we’re saying, “No more war”
No more innocents dying
No more terrorizing
No more eulogizing
No more evangelizing
No more presidents lying
No more war
With our minds we’re saying, “No more”
With our hearts we’re saying, “No more”
With our lives we’re saying, “No more war”
No more war
No more war
No more war
