More Blood’s Spilled

©2007 Garrett Clevenger

Bm A G C Em It’s been said so many times before:

Bm A G C Em Nothin’ comes as close to Hell as war.

Bm A G From destruction that it brings

Em Bm A to human suffering.

Em Bm A G C Bm Em The Devil’s got competition from humans he must adore.

Bm A G C Em The hawks arise to say, “We’re keepin’ the peace.

Bm A G C Em “It’s us or them and they want us deceased.”

Bm A G When they’re dead, they’re gone.

Em Bm A Though it won’t be long

Em Bm A G C Bm Em Their ghosts will haunt us and we sow what we’ll reap.

Chorus:

A G Bm Peace isn’t won by the barrel of a gun.

A G Bm It’s temptin’ to think that force will make it come.

A G D But for every person killed more resentment’s just instilled.

A Bm G Em The fightin’ never stops, just more blood’s spilled.

Bm A G C Em If an enemy invades our land,

Bm A G C Em killin’ our children for their empire to expand.

Bm A G Blowin’ up our homes,

Em Bm A as your mother moans.

Em Bm A G C Bm Em They’d leave us no choice but to make a stand.

Bm A G C Em Actions speak louder than words.

Bm A G C Em To think that bombs bring peace is absurd.

Bm A G They only clear the way

Em Bm A for the enemy to stay

Em Bm A G C Bm Em and take what isn’t theirs and insure dissent’s not heard.
