lyrics

I want to talk about my memorial day
the people say it's for the soldiers
we say they were made slaves
to march away forever
lost their lives fighting for whatever
it probably doesn't matter anymore
Memorial day is not made for the soldiers
it's made to make the weak feel better
that they sent a generation to kill
celebrating all the women and children
who couldn't live through the bomb

It's a memorial to the world we could have had
It's a memorial to the world we should have had

I want to talk about why it's always the same
the people say it's peace and love
when bombs are dropping from above
we say we fight for freedom
we say we've got good reasons
yet your God said 'thou shalt not kill'
Memorial day is not made for the fallen
it's made to keep survivors silent in guilt
they know they sent a generation to kill
celebrating all the women and children
killed by your drones
