Guided By Voices - A Farewell To Arms Lyrics

Send "A Farewell To Arms" ringtone to your cell

Can you hear their cries?

Nowhere can the children run to hide

Crimson rivers

Flow down the hills

Atone our ills

And woe to all her songs of love

A farewell to arms

Mutilated lives

Blackening as coffin line the sides

Filled with fathers

Who has won?

When only sons

Hold their grieving heads and mourn

A farewell to arms

Always our souls entwine

Erase this vast divide

Deaf ears our voices rest

Tyrant this is protest

Who has won?

Yes who has won?

[chorus:]

I'll wave this flag of white

So the venged see the light

We'll pay for closed eyes

With our genocide

Piercing the masquerade

March to the death parade

Trade no humanity

For pearls of the slavery

In the depth of mind the heart will i find

The truth of our leader

We'll try the facts so through the cracks

May fall the lying cheater

Who has won when we're all dead?

[chorus]

So is this how we live?

Or is this how we die?

Black blood dripping from platinum fangs

Rich blood flees while

Our poverty hangs

Shepherds they herd the mindless trance

As the flock follows the puppet's dance

In a fatal romance

[solo: demmel]

All that they needed was

A pretext war's next

Heads to the chopping blocks

And our necks are next

For those we died

Who fought for our rights

Whose children now slaves

They're turning in their graves

War hawks and senators

They sit tight so trite

Never their sons will know

What it's like to fight

But soldiers are dead

And children have bled

And the silence is numb

What have we become?

God save us
