[intro]
N.C.
We request to negotiate
N.C.
We come to you unarmed
N.C.
We desire to communicate
N.C.
You cannot do us harm
[verse 1]
FThey want sacrifice
CThey hatch schemes and ask Gme to follow their paDth to the afterlife
FI've got an appetite
CFor nice things and piGpe dreams that my enDemies could be blasted by
FNew metaphors
CView that are better for yoGu can't survive if DI'm your competitor
FRise together or fCight separate wars
GI pray I'm never forEmced to be a predator
FSpectres spectate
CWe wont last
GThey glad to hate
When gladiators
DBreathe their last
FScream en masse
When the Cdreams do clash
Like the swGords in the wars
Let me bDleed on that
FBut they feed on that
Say we Cneed strong backs
GCall us weak
If we don't redeeDm contracts
But the fFeast wont last
When this Cbeast attacks
The sGons and the fatherS
Will be Dfree at last
This is Flove this is not Ctreason (x4)
[verse 2]
FThey see sharks in the esCtuary
GThey claim the arc's DBartholomew's
FThey say war is Cnecessary
GBut we say war is cDhild abuse
We'd rather mFake our chCildren martGyrs than murderers
We'd rather mFake our chCildren WhGite Flag Warriors
[verse 3]
FCore-to-core
Were the Cones
We've been waiting for
GWe hold steady
DSteadier than stevedores
FNot tevias or Cmatadors
GOn matters of what Dcame before
FForgive the debts
To Csettle scores
GTest the mettle
DEither or
FWhats your plan got to dCo with me
If the Gbell tolls let Dfreedom ring
FAnd find new ways if we Cmust be King
Instead of lGeading the young to our Dsuffering
FWe pass testaments dCown scream back at heaven
GFor testing us like WDednesdays at eleven
FWanna recruit and train us tCo act evilly?
GSave it for the shooting range and Dsmack DVDs
FWon't study war no Cmore this millennium
GIt's never again to Dme or anyone
FSo think harder wheCn you refer to us
GRather make our children mDartyrs than murderers
This is Flove, this is not Ctreason (x4)
[verse 4]
FThey shell dwellings Cto quell the shelling
GThey lift taboos to Dseduce the cowards
FThey say we're too Cyellow-bellied
But Gwe say we're the new Dsuperpower
We'd rather Fmake our cChildren Gmartyrs that murderers
We'd rather Fmake our cChildren Gwhite flag warriors
[verse 5]
FWe seek waivers Cto not be liable
GWe claim to speak for a Dhigher truth
FWe stand opposed to the Chomicidal
GWe tell you you're Dfireproof

We'd rather Fmake our cChildren Gmartyrs that murderers
We'd rather Fmake our cChildren Gwhite flag... Fwarriors
We'd rather Fmake our cChildren
We'd rather Fmake our cChildren
We'd rather Fmake our cChildren
We'd rather Fmake our cChildren
FDo what you want to our Ccourage
GAsk us what you Dwill
FDemand from us a Csacrifice
BGut do not make us Dkill
