War Dog

Call the war dogs off
Missing the point
Nothing but pain outside
Call all the war dogs off

Lay in the back won't you
Keep your head down
Nothing but fire outside
So keep your head down

Build me a grave my boy
Your mother to lie
Pick up your coat and run
Or we too will die

A child is still growing strong
Changing your eyes, changing your soul
Changing your name, changing your clothes
Changing your dreams

Papa where is the water?
Where is the food?
Where can we go from here?
What will we do?

We will drink from the puddles my boy
And eat off the streets
Hide till the war is won
Or drown in the sea
