Yellow Ribbon by Great Apes Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2013

I can’t support
One single troop
When the organs splinte
R
it’s never done in truth
It’s all profiteering - colonial spawn
Not a lack of education
Or ignorance’s bliss
You sign the line you gotta know…

I’m not naïve enough to think we can do without, but…
Until our forces are as small as can be
And until we save more lives than we take
I won’t fly your yellow ribbon stained red

Hail to the heroes – harbingers of death and terror
There’s no threat to protect
Freedom’s just a word that blindly holds their faith
There’s no threat to protect

I’m not proud of where I’m from
Patriotism bleeds supremacy
When we start thinking like global citizens
They’ll be no need for militarism
