The War Goes On
Words and Music by Brian Griffin (8-30-2009)
Another year has come and gone
and still the war goes on
We’ve known for awhile that it is wrong
Still the war goes on
We have the promise of a better day
Still the war goes on
In a distant land our children stay
And still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
And It’s been going on too long
Hear the politicians talk and fight
Still the war goes on
They got other things on their minds
Still the war goes on
Tellin’ everyone how much pain they feel
Still the war goes on
While they’re looking for another deal
And still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
And I’m tired of singing this song…
The TV news wants to make the news
Still the war goes on
Make up the stories and sell them to you
Still the war goes on
Control both sides of the false debate
Still the war goes on
Until you end up taking the bait
And still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
And I’m tired of playing this song…
So many things on our troubled minds
Becomes part of the daily grind
They make the truth so hard to find
so you never find the time
And the war is still going on-
Another tabloid reality star has a fit
Still the war goes on
We watch and feel the need to comment on all this
Still the war goes on
While the real world remains a world away
Still the war goes on
We consume our minds on trivial things
Still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
And I’m tired of singing this song…
Maybe one day we’ll care enough about the facts
Still the war goes on
That we’ll demand the they come back
Still the war goes on
Use the strong voice that we have found
Still the war goes on
Make a final stand so we can finally stand down
Still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
Still the war goes on
And it’s time to end this song
