Already Been Down This Road Before
by Chris Grunwald

All the fat cats from the M. I. machine
are sitting 'round planning a war
Some little countr y's got what the bigger one needs
so we've gotta send the boys on a tour
Each of them predicting how they'll limit the dead
but nobody's listening to what the general said
He said, "We've already been down this road before."
In the little country there's a mother and child
scrambling about on the floor
Bombs start dropping round her house again
and she don't think she can take anymore
It's been thirty years since there's been peace in her land
and everybody's fighting over pieces of sand
She says, "We've already been down this road before."

How many times you gotta see that it's always gonna work out the same?
And if you ain't got any skin in the game, then don't play it
Every time that the bullets fly, come some bigger ones to even the score

Peace marchers walking onto Washington town
Straight up to the Congress' door
We've got two wars raging and some more in the works
and the criminals are watching the store
When the good people gonna rise up and stand and demand
that they stop and never do it again?
because we've already been down this road before
