1. Visions of War
My head is filled with fear of war
Fear and threat of war
Horrific disturbing visions of war
Fill my head
Among the maimed and slaughtered
My body lies
2. Does This System Work?
Men and women young and old
Out on the streets homeless
Does the system
Does the system
Does this system work
In plastic bags they carry their homes
Clothes in rags they walk the streets
Men and women young and old
Out on the streets homeless
In bins they search for the odd dog end
The odd dog end and food
3. A Look at Tomorrow
I look out my window to a blinding bright light
Enola passes passes by
Tomorrow tomorrow
A look at tomorrow
Hysterical men women and children
Run in search of their families
I look out of my window to a blinding bring light
Enola passes passes by
Skin is shed like that of snakes
But it's not the work of mother nature
4. Why?
Besides her man she kneels
Holds him tight and begins to cry
Why why why but why
Her loved one's just another piece of
Meat on the battlefields
Her cries break out into screams
As she now becomes hysterical with grief
Her loved one's just another piece of
Meat on the battlefields
5. Maimed and Slaughtered
Men women and children cry and scream in pain
Wounded by bomb splinters
Streets littered with maimed and slaughtered
In rigid pathetic heaps
6. Mania for Conquest
In order to satisfy their mania for conquest
Lives are squandered
To satisfy their mania
Mania for conquest
Civilians torn fromtheir families
Happy homes destroyed and for what
7. Ain't No Feeble Bastard
Ain't no feeble bastard that obeys their every say
They say do this they say do that
No I'm no dogs body
Ain't no feeble bastard
No fucking scapegoat
Ain't no feeble bastard that has no say
I say what I think
Not what they want me to think
8. Is This to Be?
Scorched earth is all that's left
Where trees and flowers once grew
A trail of destruction
Death and destruction
Nothing left but wasteland
Littered with human flesh and bone
9. Massacre of Innocents (Air Attack)
Sounds of distant aircraft get louder
Louder louder and louder
Massacre of innocence
Men women and children
Flee from the open in search of safety
Sounds of distant aircraft get louder
Louder louder and louder
A woman breaks down and cries
Her child is left playing in the street
10. Why? (Reprise)
