Genesis

In the beginning, there was nothing, my world was empty
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was you
Shining brighter than any love I'd known
Brighter than any I'd ever been shown
Loved and loving as if it were the rule
And not the exception. A glimmering jewel
Giving your light in the blackest night
And making the world better, bright, right

Daisies

Daisies are better than roses
Daisies are better still
Nobody ever lied with daisies
And no one ever will

There'll Always Be A War (Protest Song)

Well. there’s money in war
So there’ll always be a war
No matter who we have to kill
Or pretend to be fightin’ for
We’ll find ourselves a reason
To make our profits soar
Killin’ is big business
So there’ll always be a war

You gotta pay for bullets
You gotta pay for bombs
You gotta pay for caskets
To send our boys to their moms
You gotta pay for carriers
Gotta pay for fighter planes
There’s another war comin’
Just watch your weather vanes

'Cause there’s money in war
So there’ll always be a war
No matter who we have to kill
Or pretend to be fightin’ for
We’ll find ourselves a reason
To make our profits soar
Killin’ is big business
So there’ll always be a war

We’ll pay with our blood
We’ll pay with our toil
We got sweat and tears enough
To pay you for your oil
And we’ll pay with our young men’s lives
To meet your profit goals
And if that’s not good enough
We’ll pay with our souls

Yeah, there’s money in war
So there’ll always be a war
No matter who we have to kill
Or pretend to be fightin’ for
We’ll find ourselves a reason
To make our profits soar
Killin’ is big business
So there’ll always be a war

Spoken: Keep firin’, boys, I’m workin’ on commission
