United We Stand - by Hannah Maris

United we stand, there's safety in numbers
it's us versus them, whoever they are.
We spread anger and fear with our arrogant actions.
United, we'll die.

Sure, I want to fight this war on terror,
let the government do what they want.
Preemptive war to make us feel safer
United, we lie.

You know, I want to root out evildoers,
spread our crusade all around the world,
use little nukes to help 'em see it our way.
United, we'll fry.

'Course, I want to be patriotic,
keep quiet while they kill in my name:
drill the Arctic, attack Iraq.
United, go blind
United, go blind.

But what if we stood with all the world's beings?
Opened our hearts to these kindred souls,
felt the pain of the violence around us and within us,
United,we'd cry
United, ask why
Ask why.
