Píseň: Why Die For A Lie

Interpret:
Pretty Maids
Album:
Wake Up To The Real World
The architects of war has spoken once again
 We must defend democracy
 It’s time for payback to the ones they call their friends
 To please the weapon industries


 And there you stand
 Ready to die for freedom
 Man, a simple man
 Dying for shady reasons


 You follow orders
 Off you go to foreign shores
 They call you to protect and serve
 Licence to murder on the right side of the law
 The country’s set on red alert


 Kill, kill or get killed
 Nobody to hold on to
 Hell, everyday hell
 Torture and hate surround you


 Why die for a lie
 Die in a war
 Dying for something not worth dying for
 Why die for a lie


 The war is won
 But still you fight on foreign fields
 While everything around you dies


 Cry, inside you cry
 Mentally hurt and shattered
 Dead, emotionally dead
 Survival is all that matters


 Why die for a lie
 Die in a war
 Dying for something not worth dying for
 Why die for a lie


 And when you’re coming home
 You still hear the screaming
 You’re suffering alone
 You still feel the pain


 Why die for a lie
 Die in a war
 Dying for something not worth dying for
 Why die for a lie
 Die in a war
 Why die for a lie
