Human shields

So much violence in our name
a life, a silence masked in shame
Children running in the streets
soldier boots are on their feet
mothers bare the burdens of our defeats
fathers are on their knees praying for mercy
So much violence in our name
holding me like your shield
holding me like your shield
so much violence in our name
a life, a silence masked in shame
No more, no more, no more (no more)
no more, no more, no more (no more)
no more, no more, no more (no more)
no more, no more, no more (no more)
Holding me like your shield
holding me like your shield
holding me like your shield
holding me like your shield
No more violence in our name
no more violence in our name
No more, no more, no more
