Story behind the song
Not necessarily a war protest song, but more of an observation about how we're all kind of prisoners of the war on terrorism.
Lyrics
I see a storm in the distance. I think it's almost here. It seems the path of least resistance, has caused a life of fear. I can see the smoke. I can hear the guns. The ones who get it first, will be the lucky ones. We're all prisoners. We're all prisoners. We're all prisoners of war. Mother's cry in sadness all across the land, because of all the madness, in the desert sand. We're afraid to leave our houses, afraid to go to the mall, afraid of someone with a different skin, afraid of anything at all. We're all prisoners. We're all prisoners. We're all prisoners of war. Are we blind? Can't we see. We're repeating history. This used to be about retaliation. It used to be about self-defense. Now we're babysitters for a whole other nation. It doesn't make any sense. The brave aren't afraid to fight for freedom. They aren't afraid to die, but before they go and lay their lives on the line, somebody oughta tell 'em why. We're all prisoners. We're all prisoner. We're all prisoners of war. GO!
