The War Confessions Lyrics - Catman Cohen

Theres a fury on the waves 

A madness taking place 

Fueled by the blood 

Of weary wage slaves 

And they taught us how to hate 

In a hi tech kind of way 

Made us meat puppets 

For the wars they wage 

In a playground, running round 

In a playground, being clowns 

Werent we once kids 

Just kicking a ball? 

Laughing bout everything 

Nothing at all 

In a playground, neath the sun 

In a playground, having fun 

Werent we once kids 

Thought war is a game? 

Fall over dead 

And jump up again 

(Hey, hey, what do you want to say?} 

Dont want to lose my legs 

In defense of larceny 

The banksters stealing billions 

From the national Treasury 

Dont want to take a bullet 

Left coughing up blood 

For your right to a lap dance 

At some faraway club 

Dont want to suck my meals 

Through a thin feeding tube 

On behalf of profiteers 

Dealing addicts their crude 

Dont want to wheeze harshly 

Hooked to a machine 

In the service of ingrates 

And all thats obscene 

Dont want to suffer flashbacks 

Those nightmarish screams 

While billionaires lullaby 

To private jet dreams 

Nobodys tool, nobodys fool. 

NO!!!! 

In a world so long ago 

In a world we used to know 

Werent we once kids? 

Who sang funny songs 

No thoughts of torture 

Phosphorous bombs 

In a world so long ago 

In a world we used to know 

Werent we once kids? 

Who rode on our bikes 

Vampires scared us 

Not nuclear strikes 

(Hey, hey, what do you want to say?) 

Theres a fury on the waves 

A madness taking place 

Fueled by the blood 

Of weary wage slaves 

Theres a world of growing horror 

Where a playground stood before 

And it s time to stop 

This lunatic war 

Theres a world of growing horror 

Where a playground stood before 

And its time to stop 

This murderous war 

Theres a world of growing horror 

Where a playground stood before 

And Its time to stop 

This sickening war 

Theres a world of growing horror 

Where a playground stood before 

And its time to stop 

This bloody awful war 

Lets bring back our playground 

Stop this war 

Lets restore our playground 

Stop this war 

Yes, its time 

(yes its time) 

Time to STOP THIS WAR!
