No specific genre anti-war lyric
THE WAR IS COMING (MY OH MY)
CHORUS
The war is coming my oh my.
I pray that it will pass us by.
But every rain becomes a flood
Every river’s wash with blood.
Every mountain top will spy
The war is coming my oh my.
VERSE
Fathers kiss their children
Mothers wipe their eyes
For the war is coming
No point in asking why.
A never ending circle
Of pride and jealousy
Pervasive are the wicked
How cruel the irony.
CHORUS
The war is coming my oh my.
I pray that it will pass us by.
But every rain becomes a flood
Every river’s wash with blood.
Every mountain top will spy
The war is coming my oh my.
VERSE
Sons take up your rifles
Daughters do the same
For the war is coming
To murder and to maim
Don’t matter if you’re pious
Don’t matter if you’re brave
You’ll never dodge the bullet
That puts you in your grave
MIDDLE
Ain’t no point running
There’s no place to hide
Across the wide prairie
They bridge the divide.
The rich and the lonely
The cold and the lame
The strong and the meek ones
All caught up the same.
The disease of the mighty
Will trample the weak.
The war it is coming.
There’s no time to weep.
There’s no place to sleep
There’s no food to eat.
END CHORUS
The war is coming my oh my.
There is no point in asking why.
When every rain becomes a flood
Every river’s wash with blood.
Every mountain top will spy
The war is coming….. my oh my.

"Don’t matter if you’re pious
Don’t matter if you’re brave
You’ll never dodge the bullet
That puts you in your grave". Love this, Geoff!
