V1
My son went to the desert
To put down the Taliban.
Drove around in a Hummer
In a harsh and dangerous land.
V2
With a bunch of other youngsters,
Acting up like children do.
The army made them stone cold killers
Soldiers without a clue.
V3
Sent him mangled home to Texas,
With lots of others, in a row.
Now its rotting in a graveyard
Making bluebonnets grow.
CHORUS
Kill no more! Kill no more.
There’s no good reason
For another war.
You can’t have peace.
As you prepare for war.
Who will find the courage.
To say we ain’t fighting any more?
V4
There’s bluebonnets in the graveyard
Other wild flowers too.
Some red and pink and yellow.
Under a brilliant sky of blue.
V5
They do their best to hide the horror.
Of a stupid senseless war.
Bluebonnets in the graveyard.
Telling us to kill no more.
We’re putting down our weapons.
Not fighting any more.
REPEAT CHORUS
