Ukrain't Gonna Catch Me Lyrics

Oh, I see those cold red soldiers marching in

Tank treads ripping up the asphalt

Gears of war begin to spin

They were sitting dormant for too long

And the drool of war dogs hung down from their tongues

I could be wrong

But it seems as though the things that bothered me before are fading

As the runway starts to fall beneath my feet

As the wheels begin to turn the crystal ball begins to burn

I can hear the drums of war begin to beat

Maybe I could run away But there's a man who'll make me pay

Cause I couldn't pull the trigger on his gun

I see it now, the gunshots loud The boys making their countries proud

But in their eyes is fear just like in mine

And I can't believe the world I stumbled into

What it's been through And the way that all these wars are never won

But it seems as though the things that bothered me before are fading

As the runway starts to fall beneath my feet

As the wheels begin to turn

The crystal ball begins to burn

I can hear the drums of war begin to beat

Words I wrote two years ago Have aged and now begin to show

The way these modern wars will never end

Funny how the stories change When color doesn't stay the same

One minute it's a protest, next a crime

It fills my heart with sorrow Just how quickly we can borrow

Wicked tortures which we once knew all too well

All that I can do is hope that someday we'll break through

And put an end to all the war and genocide

But it seems as though the things that bothered me before are fading

As the runway starts to fall beneath my feet

As the wheels begin to turn The crystal ball begins to burn

I can hear the drums of war begin to beat
