Testo di 'This Is Not a War' di Andrew Jackson Jihad

This is not a war
It's a conversation about what people really need
Fear is a poison
It breeds violence and apathy and greed
So people occupy the streets
So they can occupy the hearts of the fearful

This is not a war
It's a conversation about what people really need
This is not a movement
It's a body's immune system reacting to a disease
It's been trying to cure cancer
With echinacea, vitamin c, and lots of sleep
Now the tumor got so big
That the blood cells have started to speak

This is not a movement
It's a body's immune system reacting to a disease
This is not a protest
It's a tortoise slowly pushing through a race
I hope the tortoise keeps its patience
While the hare continues to pepper spray its face
Unconditional, positive regard
To the ones who hurt you, they're just scared

This is not a protest
It's a tortoise slowly pushing through a race
There is no enemy
There's only people that also love their families
And they're scared that they won't have enough
Long after they are deceased
But how much money do they need?
Love turns into fear, and fear turns into greed

There is no enemy
There's only dummies that also love their families
And this is not a phase,
It's just a matter of time
With diligence and peacefulness
You will reach them & you will change their minds

If you stay there long enough,
They'll start to see you
If you stay there long enough,
They'll start to hear you
If you stay there long enough,
They'll stop trying to hurt you
If you stay there long enough,
They'll understand you
If you stay there long enough,
They will believe you
If you stay there long enough,
They'll start to work with you
Because

This is not a war
It's a conversation about what people really need
