Song Against War

Helicopters were over us

Noise and fuss

Yesterday with orchestra

And today in battle

My life seems like a shuttle

The violin that was touching my neck

Became today a rifle

The tune of dancing and love

Just now became blood and pus

Noise and fuss

And now behind a tree

Trying to press on the trigger

Feeling my daughter Julie

Calling me

Don't shoot

Don't shoot

Oh my God

Is this a rifle

  Or a violin!!
