Am F C G (x2)


Am
East and West cannot agree so the
Am                                       F
generals gave call "gather troops at the border"
Am
With guns at ready drawn and aimed
Am                                                               F
and soldiers praying to a god to bless them with strength and courage

           G     Am          F          C         G
And it was in his name that artillery lit the sky on fire
                G      Am       F               C           G
The people sing protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

Am                           F
Protest songs in response to military aggression
C                             G
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
G
The battle Raged On...

Am F C G

Sirens filled the air and the ground shook with war
civilian casualties had been a cost that was predetermined
When interviewed for report victims plead in frustration
their claim that this was a war without a reason


And bureaucrats engaged in debate to try to reach a resolution
The people sing protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
The battle Raged On...

Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
The battle Raged On...


         G                   Am           F             C
While the broadcast like their prayers went unanswered and ignored
G
God like the rest of the world just watched in silence
          G            Am                F             C
There was purpose to be served there were fortunes to be earned
G
before a peace could be called to stop the fighting

Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun.

Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
The battle Raged On...
