WAR – WHO IS THE ENEMY


Presentatie CD ‘A Fair Warning’, anarchist bookshop Opstand, Den Haag, 13 december 2019 (ACAB day)

War – Who Is The Enemy – I

Time and again bombs are flying
Another sales rep is making a career
Time and again someone is buying
Mass destruction, but war’s never here

Time and again war’s a profit
Weapons and armour, business in fear
Time and again we think nothing of it
They’re showing off rockets but we’re in the clear

Refr.
You know, war is a victory
But who is the enemy?
The enemy’s a mistery
They are running the show

Time and again bullets are booming
Another machine gun is ready to load
Time and again long distance shooting
The industry’s shipping death down the road

Time and again CEO’s love it
Their pockets so full they don’t shed a tear
Time and again they’re not gonna stop it
Their stocks are rising as refugees appear

Refr.
You know, war is a victory
But who is the enemy?
The enemy’s a mistery
They are running the show

War – Who Is The Enemy – II

Refr.
What are we gonna do about it?
What are we gonna do about it?
What are we gonna do about it?
Let’s think of something to do about it!

War is a profit for the bosses and the banks
War is prosperity – the business never ends
It’s colonist imperialist – work of the capitalist
The dealers in weapons are really the terrorists

Refr.

Blood money – blood money – blood money kills
Blood money – blood money – blood always spills
Let’s make war where the weapons are made
Let’s wage war on the arms trade – the arms trade

Refr.

Enemies – enemies – in suits and ties artillery
Enemies – in offices – they lobby for immunity
Take ‘m down – burn to the ground their cover up and secrecy
Bring ‘m down – turn to dust their arms and all their factories!

Refr.
