We sent them all across the ocean
 Many lives were taken
 Well I didn't cry, I didn't know them
 And I just looked on with no expression

 This land was once a home
 Of friends and family
 We used to know
 They are all gone now
 They are now gone
 And for what I cannot tell
 Put down your banners and flowers
 This war you've made won't last
 Your country, just lines on a map
 They're drawn up, they don't last

 The paper cities burning
 The ashes fell like rain
 But when the fire was over
 Everything had changed

 The [bad word] together
 Reminds us we're the same

 Put down banners and flowers
 This war you've made won't last
 Your country, just lines on a map
 They're' drawn up, but they don't last
