Post #363 "Merchants Of Death"

* Me and Stephens Stills

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Dead children everywhere

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

One side is right; the other side is wrong
Which side are you on?
Children singing songs over here
Merchants of Death over there

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

They open their bloody coats by the neck
Pull out their blood-stained wallets and cash their bloody checks
While singing "Hi Ho Hi Ho"
"It's off to work we go"

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

Blood is running in the street
The paranoia of the Merchants Of Death runs deep
They are always afraid
Step out of line, the Man comes and takes your gun away.

We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

We better stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

We better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
