Just Won­der­ing

By Potent Whisper

Verse 1

What would you do if it was your family?

Your town in raw anarchy?

If it was your house you were forced out of casually?

If it was your blood, your son or your mums?

They’re run­ning on your funds, so aren’t these your guns?

How can it be a “war” if only one side declares it?

Pause…

Where are their kids on the front line or air strip?

Yours…

Why do we serve a queen? When did we turn to sheep?

Why do we murder lead­ers when they seek an urgent peace?

What’s viol­ence? How would you define it?

Isn’t it sup­port of a war if we’re silent?

Couldn’t we have fought instead of fall­ing for their rise?

(But they invade in our names and we don’t bat an eyelid!)

Why do we go to pris­on for protest?

Isn’t it grot­esque? Is this the king­dom you co-rep?

When will the ques­tions end? What’s their reason?

How can you reach peace without freedom?

Chor­us

Why? Why sit in silence when their men have guns up?

Oh yes I won­der… Why?

Why sit in silence when their men have guns up?

Oh yes I won­der why…

Verse 2

Am I weak for com­pas­sion? Is peace not an action?

Do sol­diers wanna shoot or are they used for their passion?

Ummmm…

How many sol­diers really know what their fight­ing for?

(Ask)

Would the reas­ons dif­fer? Are they quite sure?

If Bush wore a cross does it mean the war was gods?

Or is it blas­phemy and actu­ally a con?

Isn’t Nation­al Defence just an actu­al attack?

So many wanna love, where’s the manu­al for that?

Take a life or serve life? Murder or treason?

Wasn’t that the choice for all the boys they were leading?

Do we wanna war when the ones that went before all marched out to cheers but returned as a secret?

When the next war begins, will it be you who fights it?

And if we do fight, will it be you who decides it?

Are we not a factor? Are you not their number?

Am I just a mad man? Do you nev­er wonder?!

Just Won­der­ing…
