Jan Gillies - Dogs of War

Dogs of War Jan Gillies

1. Puppies are playful, considered best friends
Devoted companions, faithful to the end
But trained to protect, and taught how to kill
We turn them to weapons of war
Chorus:
And war becomes play to those who don’t pay
The price that it takes from its pawns
They don’t feel the pain. Its just another game
To win or lose, so it goes on (and on, and on, and on…)

2. Children learn kindness, or to fear and to hate
Take care what you teach them before it’s too late
Under banners of glory, and ribbons of pride
We turn them to weapons of war.
(chorus)

Bridge:
The baying grows louder, the hounds drawing near
In the shadow of the towers, we all live in fear
In a world full of weapons of war

3. The masters of conflict seek power and gain
While screaming of freedom, they control the game
Using their weapons to kill and to maim
They glory in their dogs of war
(chorus)

Repeat 1st verse, & “In a world full of weapons of war “
