I Won’t March Anymore

I’ve seen the flags go waving high

Heard the speeches, heard the lies

Watched them send the young to die

While the powerful pass it by

They shake your hand, they praise your name

Send you off and call it brave

But it’s always just the same

Another war they don’t have to face

⸻

And I won’t march anymore

No, I won’t fight your war

You can’t sell me what you sold before

I won’t march anymore

⸻

You said freedom, you said right

But I see bombs in the night

Children running from the light

While you justify the fight

You draw lines on foreign land

With blood you’ll never understand

And call it peace with steady hands

While it slips right through the sand

⸻

And I won’t march anymore

No, I won’t fight your war

You can’t sell me what you sold before

I won’t march anymore

⸻

I’ve heard the stories, seen the clips

Power dripping from your lips

Truth is something that you twist

While accountability don’t exist

You build fear, you build control

Turn division into gold

But there’s a line you can’t patrol

When the people take their soul

⸻

And we won’t march anymore

No, we won’t fight your war

You can’t sell us what you sold before

We won’t march anymore

⸻

If justice means anything at all

It can’t just answer to the call

Of those who rise and never fall

While the rest of us lose it all

⸻

And we won’t march anymore

No, we won’t fight your war

You can’t sell us what you sold before

We won’t march anymore
