You saw the war on your phone.
Thought it was far, not your home.
Names on a screen, maps turning red.
Somebody speaks, somebody's dead.
They tell you go, defend the line.
They give you boots, they take your time.
A drone in the sky, a flash in the night.
Nobody knows who started the fight.
No one wins this war.
No one wins at all.
Another mother waits.
Another soldier falls.
No one wins this war.
Whatever flags they raise.
Thought it was far, not your home.
Names on a screen, maps turning red.
Somebody speaks, somebody's dead.
They tell you go, defend the line.
They give you boots, they take your time.
A drone in the sky, a flash in the night.
Nobody knows who started the fight.
No one wins this war.
No one wins at all.
Another mother waits.
Another soldier falls.
No one wins this war.
Whatever flags they raise.
