Story Behind The Song

United States using its military might to undermine and topple foreign governments and impose our cultural values. Our soldiers should not be subjected to such wanton misuse of authoritative power. There are other options to war -- cultural understanding, real social and ethnic equality, etc.

Song Description

Uptempo antiwar song advocating peace, social equality, and cultural sensitivity.

Lyrics

Sister And Brotherhood


Last time it was during the sixties
Fighting a war not knowing why
At least they said the ?comies were comin??
And we needed to keep them at bay

Weapons of mass destruction
Liberators that?s what we?d say
Gallant soldiers keep on dying
Bring them home, there?s another way

* I know I can be me
And that you can be you
Because there?s room for us all

Black, brown or white
Any religion you like
No reason we can?t be friends

Peace is what we want
An understanding of our differences
Come one, come all
Join in sister and brotherhood

We say that we?re fighting for freedom ? but is it
Oil for democracy
Let?s look ahead to our children?s future
For a world in which they can say

*
