Fanfare for the Conscious Man

Each nation used to provide its country with security With factories providing arms for their country Now multi-national companies compete in the arms trade To serve any customer maximizing the money to be made So just as farms compete to provide fruit for other countries So people can live to enjoy the taste of nature National warehouses compete to provide arms around the world To aid death and all hell unfurled Our gracious queen should grasp her crown And take a good fucking swing at Blair and Brown For leading her country into illegal warfare And tryina pass it off that we’re doing it 'cos we care "Now preemptive wars are a redemptive cause" I’ve never heard such nonsense under international laws We think we have the right to enforce ‘democracy’ When we’re weakening ours everyday; what a hypocrisy We’ll be together against this We’ll be forever against this Fuck, man I just woke up to a land where killing is part of every day And every mind of this intelligent species is led blinded into the battlefield Like it’s natural for us to break instead of build Unity’s intrinsic, the only cause worth fighting for All religions, colours and creeds Now we are the world and we are the people We are the world and we are the people And we will be heard... We’ll be together against this We’ll be forever against this
