Give peace a chance

Ruined buildings and blackened grounds,
Fiery echos of distant sounds.
Who has torn apart this town,
Has religion let us down?
Beliefs have seperated the human race,
Dark times ahead, is what we face.
George Bush is just out looking for glory,
Can you see a different story?
We may have firepower but brains we lack,
Why won't they take our troops out of Iraq?
All we want is the real facts,
Not some corny, bunch of heroes crap.
So stand up for your right and take your stance,
Listen to me and give peace a chance.
