Oh my name it means nothing
My age it means less
I'm far from my home
Lying over the mid west
And as I look down on
Some far city lights
I ask God to watch over
My family tonight
I'm tired of hearing
That God's on the side
Of suicide bombers
And jet planes that fly
To drop bombs on civilians
To even the score
Where's the God of the children
In the rubble of war
I believe the self martyr
At least had the choice
And the vengeful warmongers
Have the loudest voice
But the innocent victims
Have no place to hide
When death comes without warning
With God on its side
The butcher bird sing
An eye for an eye
And Echos the words
The wall pounds to the sky
When they call on their guard
To justify their attacks
The butcher bird smiles
The wolf covers its tracks
