A headless man is running down the street

He is carrying his head in his hands

A woman runs after him

She has his heart in her hands

The bombs keep falling sowing hate

And they keep running down the streets

Not the same two people but thousands of others & brothers

All running from the bombs that keep falling sowing pure hate

And for every bomb that’s dropped up spring a thousand Bin Ladens a thousand new terrorists

Like dragon’s teeth sown

From which armed warriors sprang up

Crying for blood

As the smart bombs sowing hate

Keep falling and falling and falling
