For The Fallen Lyrics - Tim O'brien

The seeds of this war were sewn in our father's time 

And every bomb will plant some more fear and hate 

Let's break this chain of history before it gets too late 

How many men will choose to run with the mad dog 

How many more will have to die at his bloody hand 

And who will shield our children from this plague that kills our land 

I close my eyes and ears, don't want the news 

I will not watch them play the scenes again 

Don't ask me who's side I'm on, or what I think about it 

Cause I don't want to play that game, I'm not buyin in 

What do you need to get through the daytime 

What do you need to get through the night 

Who made these rules and who's to say who's wrong and who is right
