sad

Is this the blood
Of an enemy
Or is it blood
Of one of ours
I do not know
Blood is blood
And death is death

War is fought
At the beckoning
Of those that lead
Nations
And for these shouts
To to kill the other
The young and old
March out
To bleed
To die
To bleed
To kill

But
Blood is blood
And
Death is death
And every enemy
Breaths with human breath
Cries with human tears
And passes
Wishing for comfort
As a child
Wishes
For Mother

Susie are you insane?
Susie are you mad?
Susie are you crazy?
Susie are you sad?

Pace around your room now
Looking everywhere
Eyes are only mirrors
Drowning in despair

You're hiding from the sun
Darkness as a cloak
Wrapped around a body
Bent so hard it broke

Susie are you insane?
Susie are you mad?
Susie are you crazy?
Susie are you sad?

Wonder if they'll hear you
Speaking to the air
Wonder if they'll listen
Though there's no one there

Throw yourself to the floor
Scream into the boards
Drunk on filthy tears
These are your rewards

Susie are you insane?
Susie are you mad?
Susie are you crazy?
Susie are you sad?

Don't worry now it's clear
Don't worry now our dear
We'll put an end to pain
We'll put an end to fear

Just take this pretty pill
Then drink this nasty swill
And slip into a dream
Let warmth replace the chill

Susie you are insane?
Susie you are mad?
Susie you are crazy?
Susie you are sad?

Susie you are gone. . .
