## Lyrics
[verse]
Leaders talk in halls of stone
Deciding fates they'll never own
Children watch the skies turn red
For reasons no one's ever said

[chorus]
Why do we build the guns and drums
Why do we count the ones who come
Home in boxes wrapped in flags
When all we needed was to talk instead

[verse]
Borders drawn on maps of pride
Keep the human hearts divided
But blood is blood on either side
No color wins when people died

[chorus]
Why do we build the guns and drums
Why do we count the ones who come
Home in boxes wrapped in flags
When all we needed was to talk instead

[bridge]
Put the weapons down for good
Teach the children like we should
That peace is stronger than the fight
Let's turn the darkness into light

[chorus]
Why do we build the guns and drums
Why do we count the ones who come
Home in boxes wrapped in flags
When all we needed was to talk instead
