When Will It Change

about

Song about the futility of the illegal invasion of Iraq led by war criminals GW Bush and Tony Blair!

lyrics

When will it change


Children are waving we say our goodbyes
Talk about duty and flags that we fly
Over the ocean, far over the seas
Nothing seems real and there's no one to please

The sun beats down slowly, there’s sand in my eyes
Lies become cloudy - then darkness arrives
The silence is deafening - I can’t hear a sound
I can feel my heart screaming, there’s blood on the ground

The sky cracks a smile and there’s hope in the air
Or just an illusion from shallow green chairs
Soft words of discomfort just don’t meet the needs
When children are playing with poisonous seeds
Crying when, when will it change,
when will it change, when will it change

Chorus:
Watch those false good intentions burn up in your dreams
It’s time to wake up from those make-believe schemes
Once more for the victims - once more for the prize
Once more for the peace train, once more now we cry
Once more for the peace train, once more now we cry

The sun beats down slowly there’s mud in my eyes
Food’s all gone mouldy - there’s rust on the knives
The lies are all clearer going round and around
I can feel my heart sinking I can’t hear a sound

Night time has fallen, we light up the sky
Out in the distance – an echoing cry
My body grows weary, I'm choking on tears
Hours become days and the weeks turn to years
Tell me when, when will it change
when will it change, when will it change?

Instrumental verse:

Chorus:
Watch those false good intentions burn up in your dreams
It’s time to wake up from those make-believe schemes
Once more for the victims - once more for the prize
Once more for the peace train, once more now we cry
Once more for the peace train, once more now we cry
