Ukrain't Gonna Catch Me

Oh, I see those cold red soldiers marching in Tank treads ripping up the asphalt Gears of war begin to spin They were sitting dormant for too long And the drool of war dogs hung down from their tongues I could be wrong But it seems as though the things that bothered me before are fading As the runway starts to fall beneath my feet As the wheels begin to turn the crystal ball begins to burn I can hear the drums of war begin to beat Maybe I could run away But there's a man who'll make me pay Cause I couldn't pull the trigger on his gun I see it now, the gunshots loud The boys making their countries proud But in their eyes is fear just like in mine And I can't believe the world I stumbled into What it's been through And the way that all these wars are never won But it seems as though the things that bothered me before are fading As the runway starts to fall beneath my feet As the wheels begin to turn The crystal ball begins to burn I can hear the drums of war begin to beat Words I wrote two years ago Have aged and now begin to show The way these modern wars will never end Funny how the stories change When color doesn't stay the same One minute it's a protest, next a crime It fills my heart with sorrow Just how quickly we can borrow Wicked tortures which we once knew all too well All that I can do is hope that someday we'll break through And put an end to all the war and genocide But it seems as though the things that bothered me before are fading As the runway starts to fall beneath my feet As the wheels begin to turn The crystal ball begins to burn I can hear the drums of war begin to beat
