PEACE AND LOVE CAN ONLY OCCUR WHEN WE MAKE IT HAPPEN!


KILLING FIELDS

FROM THE POPPY FIELDS OF AFGANISTAN
TO THE OIL FIELDS OF IRAQ
WE’RE GONNA TAKE IT ALL FOR THE PROFITS
NEVER GONNA GIVE IT BACK

THE DIAMOND MINES OF SOUTH AFRICA
ARE FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD
THE COCA FIELDS OF COLUMBIA
FOR THOSE WHO ARE JUST PLAIN BORED

ARE WE GOING TO BUILD A METROPOLIS – IN THE COUNTRY OF IRAN
ARE WE WILLING TO RISK AN APOCALYPSE – JUST BECAUSE WE CAN
NEAR THE ISLAND OF INDONESIA – THERE’S A TROPICAL PARADISE
SHALL WE TURN IT ALL TO ASHES – A SUPERFICIAL SACRIFICE

LOOKING UP WE SEE ALL AROUND US – THE SOCIAL INJUSTICE
WE WANT TO TOUCH - BUT OUR ARMS THEY WON’T REACH
BRING THEM CLOSER – DON’T TAKE US FURTHER
HOW MANY MORE LIVES - DOES IT MATTER
IF OUR LAST BREATH IS THE FIRST STEP
JOIN TOGETHER AS FRIENDS AGAIN

DON’T TURN THEM ALL AWAY
WE’RE TURNING THEM ALL AWAY
LAND OF THE FREE - HOME OF THE BRAVE
IS TURNING THEM ALL AWAY

ON THE ROLLING HILLS OF IRELAND – THE BRITISH TANKS WILL ROAR
THROUGH THE BEAUTIFUL SKIES OVER PALESTINE
ISRAELI JETS WILL SOAR

IT’S THE KILLING FIELDS OF AMERICA
WE’RE ARMING THEM ALL WORLD WIDE
BREEDING GROUNDS FOR HATRED
LEAVING NO ONE LEFT ON OUR SIDE

WE’RE TURNING THEM ALL AWAY – TURNING THEM ALL AWAY
LAND OF THE FREE – HOME OF THE BRAVE
IS TURNING THEM ALL AWAY

THE NATIVE LAND OF AMERICA
HOME OF THE BRAVE – LAND OF THE FREE
IS TURNING THEM ALL AWAY
