An anti-war anthem that pleads for "anything else but" war. The song touches on war related subjects such as "collateral damage" and the impact of politics and the media on our decision to engage in conflict.

Text Version of Lyris
Is there another option, to the blood that we spill
It’s
the ones who get in the way, who have to pay the bill
Seems
like a movie, reality lost
They
never show the outtakes, or the scenes, of the hardship and the cost
Oh
the ignorance is leading us, is leading us, is leading us, to destruction
Can’t
we think about, anything else but
Can’t
we live without anything else but,
It’s
about time we see the world as one,
Can’t
we find a way without, anything else but, war
The politics of conflict, the media spin
Defies all explanation, where did this all begin
Beyond
all reason, no self control
Just
take a look in the innocent eyes, see yourself in their soul
