PIGS OF WAR

Gary Booker

Turn your lights down low.

There's a bombing raid in Gaza.

Buffalo soldier, from Ethiopia to Judea, 

run for cover.

For the media sweeps the truth under cover.

The pigs of war, are all 

waiting in vain, to stir it up. 

All moral men.

Get up, stand up,

against tyranny and hate.

Judge not the voiceless man, caged like a

iron, lion in Zion.

The war pigs are starting the war machine.

Africa unite.

Lively up yourself.

The war pigs, will use

atomic energy, on the sabbath Sunday, when 

the sun is shining.

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot his child.

One love,

is what all mankind must share.

Sing a Redemption song,

to the war pigs.

Is this love?
