The Devil's Anthem

From the very moment you were born You're told who's right and who's wrong In war, well you're blinded by the brightest light And you only see in black and white Do you even know what you're fighting for I bet the devil has an anthem too And he sings along to it's mighty tune Do you think your murder's justified And will you ever realize The enemy you fight, oh, he's just like you Is it the same old song, the same old song Our father's song At the end of the day, has the change come Or is it just the same old song You're on your knees, praying for a change When you open your eyes, everything's the same Well, the ghost of peace haunting us So we send the boys back to the dust What will you do when there's nothing left to blame And the boys come home, hoping for an end But they can't escape the demons in their heads Well, the bombs still burst and children cry And all that's left to do is die It's a damn good thing that God is on our side Oh, is it the same old song, the same old song Our father's song At the end of the day, has the change come? Or is it just the same old song The enemy ain't far, it's true He's walking round your living room The devil is an art to find I see him right behind your eyes Will we make it through the night? Will we make it through the night Oh, is it the same old song, the same old song Our father's song At the end of the day, has the change come? Or is it just the same damn song
