War

I was living rather quietly by my village in the trees Don't bother anybody and they don't bother me I'm always kind to passers-by, I never make a fuss Considerate of my neighbours so they don't bother us I don't mean to be unsociable but times my only wealth So I continue to live quietly, keep myself unto myself One day while feeling lonely I wandered in to town To take a look and listen to what was going down Nothing seemed to change much, all looked just the same So I went about my business till the sky began to rain, began to rain I took shelter in a doorway and started to peruse Through a local paper to check up on the news Hit me like a hammer, the headline jump and screeched My home was now a target for a missile from the east The Americans are coming, they're bringing us their bombs To aim them at their enemies from our little island home I don't want to die because of some mad presidents whim I don't want to be a part of a war no one can win
