The Dogs of War

Notes: I liked this line so much that I wrote a song for it. It goes like this:

 

VERSE
A red haze of blood hangs over our land
crying for justice
yeah, strike up the band

there's store clerks in camo
and men in fatigues
buying up ammo
and hiding in trees

CHORUS
And I hope that you understand it
and I hope that you know the score
they don't go quietly back to their kennels
when you loose the dogs of war.

VERSE
They're joining militias
and forming up ranks
training in pickups
and dreaming of tanks

so where is the danger?
and what's the occasion?
Is there an imminent threat
of Canadian invasion?

CHORUS

VERSE
So lock up your daughters
and pay me some heed
if blood's to be spilt soon
it's us that'll bleed.

CHORUS
And I pray that you understand it
And I pray that you know the score
They don't go quietly back to their kennels
When you loose the dogs of war

(c) 1995 Hart Williams
