When George Bush talks about peace

"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace." -- George Bush, June 2002

If only the world were upside down
If war was peace and peace was war.

The hungry would be filled with good things
And the rich would be hungry.

The fearful would be fearful
And the fearless would know fear.

The wounded would be made whole
and the whole would be wounded.

The 'have nots' would have
And the 'haves' would have not.

But the world is not upside down
The world is the way it is.

The hungry are not filled
The fearful are afraid
The wounded are hurting
The 'haves' have more than they need
And demand more.

And even when George Bush talks about peace
He's really talking about war.
