In the Corridors of Power (Electric Swing)

[Verse 1] In the corridors of power, where deals are struck, Leaders make decrees, leaving no luck. Yet in the shadows, a grim charade, Where innocence is bartered, and futures fade. [Pre-Chorus] They preach of honor, they preach of might, But behind the facade, the truth takes flight. Sending off their own, to fight and bleed, In wars of greed, where souls they feed. [Chorus] Governments, what have you done? Sending our children under the sun. In the name of glory, in the name of pride, You sacrifice futures, where truth hides. [Verse 2] On distant fields, beneath foreign skies, Young ones march forth, with fear in their eyes. Promises of valor, promises of fame, But on the battlefield, they find only shame. [Pre-Chorus] They pledge allegiance, they march in line, But in the depths of their hearts, they pine. Caught in the crossfire of power and greed, Their innocence lost, their souls concede. [Chorus] Governments, what have you done? Sending our children to face the gun. In the name of glory, in the name of might, You sacrifice futures, in the dead of night. [Bridge] Yet amidst the chaos, mothers wail, Their cries echo, a mournful tale. Families torn, by wars unjust, As mothers weep, in anguish and disgust. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Governments, what have you done? Sending our children under the sun. In the name of glory, in the name of pride, You sacrifice futures, where truth died. [Outro] But hear the voices, rising strong and clear, Calling for peace, to wipe the tear. For no more shall we let them prey, On the innocence of our children, come what may. [end] [Verse 1] In the corridors of power, where deals are made, Leaders decree, leaving us dismayed. Yet in the shadows, a grim charade, Where innocence dies, and futures fade away. [Pre-Chorus] They preach of honor, they preach of might, but Their words veil a chilling sight. Sending their own to fight and bleed, In wars of greed, where souls they feed. [Chorus] Oh Nations, what have you done? Sending your children to hold the gun. In the name of glory, in the name of pride, You forfeit futures, where gloom resides. [Verse 2] On distant fields, 'neath foreign skies, Young ones march forth, with fear in their eyes. Promises of valor, promises of fame, But on the battlefield, they find only pain. [Pre-Chorus] They pledge allegiance, they march in line, But in their hearts, they silently pine. Caught in the crossfire of power and greed, Their innocence lost, their souls concede. [Chorus] Oh kingdoms, what have you done? Sending our children to face the gun. On the quest for glory, in the grip of pride. You sacrifice futures, in the dead of night. [Bridge] Yet amidst the chaos, mothers wail, Their cries echo, a mournful tale. Families torn, by wars unjust, As mothers weep, in anguish and disgust. [Chorus] Oh People, what have we done? Sending our mothers to bury their sons. In the shadow of glory, in the echo of pride. You sacrifice futures, where truth has died. [Outro] But hear the voices, rising clear, Calling for peace, to dry the tears. For no more shall we let them prey, On the innocence of our children, come what may. [end] [end] [end] [end] [end] [end] [end] [Bridge] Yet amidst the chaos, mothers wail, Their cries echo, a mournful tale. Families torn, by wars unjust, As mothers weep, in anguish and disgust. [Chorus] Oh People, what have we done? Sending our mothers to bury their sons. In the shadow of glory, in the echo of pride. You sacrifice futures, where truth has died. [Outro] But hear the voices, rising clear, Calling for peace, to dry the tears. For no more shall we let them prey, On the innocence of our children, come what may.
