Sting
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You've got the mouth of a she wolf
2
Inside the mask of an innocent lamb
3
You say your heart is all compassion
4
But there's just a flat line on your cardiogram
5
Yet you always made a profit baby
6
If it was a famine or a feast
7
Yes, I'm the soul of indiscretion,
8
I was cursed with x-ray vision,
9
I could see right through all the lies you told,
10
When you smiled for the television
11
And you can see the coming battle
12
You pray the drums will never cease
13
And you may win this war that's coming
14
But would you tolerate the peace?
15
Investing in munitions
16
And those little cotton flags
17
Invest in wooden caskets
18
In guns and body bags, guns and body bags
19
Your daddy was a businessman
20
And it always made good sense
21
You know the war can make you rich my friend
22
In dollars, pounds and cents
23
In the temple that was Mammon's
24
You were ordained the parish priest
25
Yes you may win this coming battle
26
But could you tolerate the peace?
27
Invest in deadly weapons
28
And those little cotton flags
29
Invest in wooden caskets
30
In guns and body bags
31
You're invested in oppression
32
Investing in corruption
33
Invest in every tyranny
34
And the whole world's destruction
35
I imagine there's a future
36
When all the earthly wars are over
37
You may find yourself just standing there
38
On the white cliffs of Dover
39
You may ask, what does it profit a man
40
To gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
41
Is that your body you see on the rocks below
42
As the tide begins to roll?
43
And you invested in this prison
44
From which you never got released
45
You may have won this war we're fighting
46
But would you tolerate the peace?
47
There's a war on our democracy
48
A war on our dissent
49
There's a war inside religion
50
And what Jesus might have meant
51
There's a war on mother nature
52
A war upon the seas
53
There's a war upon the forests
54
On the birds and the bees
55
There's a war on education
56
A war on information
57
A war between the sexes
58
And every nation
59
A war on our compassion
60
A war on understanding
61
A war on love and life itself
62
It's war that they're demanding
63
Make it easy on yourself
64
And don't do nothing
