Lyrics
Intro
Oh, gather round, folks, lend me your ear,
Got a little story that’s painfully clear,
You vowed to stop horrors, crimes untold,
But the ones who swore justice turned cruel and bold!
Verse 1
You shouted “Never again! to the world’s eyes,
Promised to stop the bloodshed, the lies,
But the headlines scream in the dead of night,
And civilians vanish while leaders delight.
You drew your maps and called it defense,
But the massacre grows, the scale immense,
You swore to protect, to end the pain,
But the watchmen now wield the same dark chain.
Chorus
Hey! What happened, oh what’s the plan?
We thought you’d stop genocide, not start it, man!
Oh! What happened, with your moral stand?
We thought you’d shield, not slaughter the land!
Verse 2
You lecture the world on crimes you claim,
But your own soldiers play a deadly game,
Civilians die while the speeches soar,
The promise of justice is shattered on the floor.
You march in parades of righteous decree,
While innocent people fall silently,
You call it security, you call it law,
But the world sees the horror, the human flaw.
Bridge
Oh, darling, darling, isn’t it strange?
You condemned genocide on every stage,
Yet now your hands direct the deadly fight,
While the innocent vanish into the night!
Verse 3
Ooh! You said “Never again!
Yeah! Yet death marches again!
Ooh! You promised to defend the weak!
Ha! But the blood flows week to week!
You wave your flags and sing your song,
But the people suffer, the losses are long,
Oh, the headlines lie and the speeches roar,
While the cries of the innocent echo the floor!
Chorus
Hey! What happened, oh what’s the plan?
We thought you’d stop genocide, not start it, man!
Oh! What happened, with your moral stand?
We thought you’d shield, not slaughter the land!
Verse 4
The UN knows, the world knows too,
Genocide’s a crime, not a thing to do,
You vowed to prevent it, to guard the weak,
Yet your policies strike the ones who speak.
So we dance and jive, we shake our heads,
At promises broken and streets stained red,
You wanted to lead with a righteous parade,
But your hands are stained in the charade.
Final Chorus
Hey! What happened, oh what’s the plan?
We thought you’d stop genocide, not start it, man!
Oh! What happened, with your moral stand?
We thought you’d shield, not slaughter the land!
Outro
Next time you swear “Never again! in the night,
Check who’s guarding, who’s taking the fight,
Genocide’s crime, the world keeps score,
And history remembers what the watchdogs ignore!
