WAR - Fred Warner

So fucking violent

So fucking sad

So fucking violent

So fucking sad

Ti-time of the war

Let me just tell them

That I'm faded with them

All the games and thing

That's the point of these men, yeah

It's so easy to blame

It's always the same

They are sick it's the same

I just hear, they complain

I just hear these men (So much pain)

Are you sick, old man?

Yeah, you are a shame (So many tears)

Can you understand?

Even you notice something? (So much pain)

Did you see anything?

I just hear they complaining (So many tears)

Without doing anything, oh

War, we're living in the time of the

War (We're living in the time of the war)

War, we're living in the time of the war

(You don't care 'cause you live in the time)

War, we're living in the time of the

War (In the time of the fucking war)

War, we're living in the time of the war

I am not of this land

I can't touch that sand

I can't live with that thing

That's so sick, it's a shame

I don't want to say

That we need to pray

All these years we lay

Where we need to stay

Stay on that land

It's something I can't

I can't give you my hand

Without gettin' your plan

It's just a demand

Of the sheep's command

I can see them obeying

They don't ask anything, oh

War, we're living in the time of the

War (We're living in the time of the war)

War, we're living in the time of the war

(You don't care 'cause you live in the time)

War, we're living in the time of the

War (In the time of the fucking war)

War, we're living in the time of the war

Killing in the name of life

Fighting in the name of peace

You see all these men in ties tying the world to their will

And if you keep on looking you will

See that this is not a dream, this is real

And we're just heading to the guillotine like Louie XVI

And it's so fucking violent (And it's so

Fucking violent, and it's so fucking sad)

And it's so fucking sad (And it makes

Me feel nothing, and it will never die)

But it makes me feel nothing (And it's so

Fucking violent, and it's so fucking sad)

And it will never die (And it makes

Me feel nothing, and it will never die)

And it's so fucking violent (And it's so

Fucking violent, and it's so fucking sad)

And it's so fucking sad (And it makes

Me feel nothing, and it will never die)

But it makes me feel nothing (And it's so

Fucking violent, and it's so fucking sad)

And it will never die (And it makes

Me feel nothing, and it will never die)

“War” is a song by Fred Warner that expresses a deep reflection on violence, war, and the social dilemmas faced by humanity. With distressing and intensely emotional lyrics, the song conveys the despair of living in a world marked by destruction and the lack of meaningful action in the face of urgent problems. The repeated phrases “so fucking violent”and “so fucking sad” reflect the artist’s frustration with the violent and depressing reality he observes.

The song also embodies the frustration of the artists involved, as part of a collaboration, who share a critical perspective on the current state of the world. This frustration is evident in the way they address society’s apathy and passivity toward urgent issues like war and violence. The lyrics highlight how, despite constant complaints, people often fail to act to change the system that perpetuates this cycle of suffering.

The line “Killing in the name of life, Fighting in the name of peace” is an ironic commentary on the hypocrisy of justifying violent actions in the name of noble ideals such as life and peace, while the world remains engulfed in chaos. The song also includes a historical reference to the guillotine and Louis XVI, implying that despite progress, power structures continue to perpetuate oppression, leading to an endless cycle of violence.

The repeated phrase “we’re living in the time of the war” serves as a wake-up call, reinforcing the idea that war is not just a historical event but a constant presence in everyday life. The feeling of desolation is intensified by the participation of guest artists, who share a common vision of a world seemingly immune to change. Musically, War blends aggressive intensity with a sense of despair, reflecting the artist’s inner conflict in the face of a global crisis.

The song challenges the listener to confront the contradictions of the modern world, encouraging reflection on both individual and collective responsibility in the midst of violence and human suffering. With the collaboration between artists, War becomes not just a social critique but also an expression of dissatisfaction and a desire for change in the global landscape.
