Warhawks -

Dissidents and innocents

Drowned out by belligerents

Unconcern, negligence

Feeding their malevolence

They say fires still burn there

Yet no one voted for this warfare

I guess blame has no place here

‘Cause no smoke’s in our sunrise

Deployed across the sea

Whoa, whoa, you just wanna let this go

Then who stands in the way?

Whoa, whoa, what is worse than losing hope?

Trading it away

I doubt that it’s much solace

To the kid with waking dreams

He doesn’t understand intentions

Just the guns and the machines

And the blame lies right here

We need no plane to get there

We can’t prove that this warfare

Has ever saved a life

Deployed across the sea

With enemies in DC

Whoa, whoa, you just wanna let this go

Then who stands in the way?

Whoa, whoa, what is worse than losing hope?

Trading it away

Just one light can tame the darkness

Only you control your eyes

This world is shrinking, nothing is far away

We’re more in common than our minds allow

We’re over-thinking, the things we say

They’ll only listen if we’re loud

Whoa, whoa, you just wanna let this go

Then who stands in the way?

Whoa, whoa, what is worse than losing hope?

Trading it away
