Citizen Fish lyrics - Small Scale Wars


Title: Small Scale Wars
Artist: Citizen Fish
Album: FREE SOULS IN A TRAPPED ENVIRONMENT
Year: ????
Submitted by: TimMony


Everything we do on a personal scale, taking "we" to mean everyone who ever existed, is the basis for everything wrong in this world, and of course everything right as well. But the list of wrongs that offend the soul, like the chance of being killed before we get old, is far far longer than the list of rights. Falling in love won't stop the war, but hating other people might start some more. You blame the politicians for making all the wrong decisions, which are just the same as ours, but we haven't got that power that enforces domination. So we take out our frustration on the weaker opposition, reinforce our egotism, in our small-scale wars on the disco floors, against the man next door. You can blame the politicians: small-scale war. You can blame your television: small-scale war. You can blame your education, cost of living and inflation: small-scale wars. But the basis of everything wrong in this world is the way that people behave. When you scorn the system, but fight each other you're behaving exactly the same. If we thought a bit more before starting the war, then maybe the structure would change, sooner or later.
