Lời bài hát: Flobots. Survival Story. White Flag Warrior.

We request to negotiate
We come to you unarmed
We desire to communicate
You cannot do us harm

For one sacrifice, they had schemes
And asked me to follow their path to the afterlife
I've got an appetite for nice things and pipe dreams
That my enemies could be blasted by

Ooh, metaphors, views that are better for
You can't survive or find your competitor
Rise together or fight separate wars
I pray I'm never forced to be a predator

Suspecting we won't last
They're glad to hate but gladiators breed their last
Scream or mash for their dreams do clash
Like swords in the war, let me bleed on that

Put the heat on that, 'cept we need strong backs
Call us weak and don't redeem contracts
Well, this speech won't last if the beast attacks
The sons and the fathers will be free at last

This is love and not treason
This is love and not treason
This is love and not treason
This is love and not treason

(This is love and not treason)
They see sharks in the estuary
They claim the Arch of Bartholomew's
(This is love and not treason)
They say war is necessary
But we say war is child abuse

We'd rather make our children
(We request to negotiate)
Martyrs than murderers
(We come to you unarmed)

We'd rather make our children
(We desire to communicate)
White Flag Warriors

Take to the core they're the ones we've been waiting for
We hold steady, steady on the step of door
The type of you are matadors and matadors are capable
Forgive the death and settle scores, test the metal and the ore

What's your plan got to do with me?
If the bell tolls, let freedom ring
And find the new ways that we must be king
Instead of leading the young to our suffering

The past test of this now scream back in heaven
For testing us like Wednesdays at eleven
Want to recruit and train us to act evilly
Save it for the shooting range, so back DVD

Just tell me, want no more this millennium
It's never again for me or anyone
So think harder when you refer to us
Rather make our children martyrs than murders

This is love, this is not treason
This is love, this is not treason
This is love, this is not treason
This is love, this is not treason

(This is love, this is not treason)
They shell dwellings to quell the shellings
And lift taboos and seduce the countings
(This is love, this is not treason)
They say we're too yellow bellied
But we say we're the new superpower

We'd rather make our children
(We request to negotiate)
Martyrs than murderers
(We come to you unarmed)

We'd rather make our children
(We desire to communicate)
White Flag Warriors
(You cannot do us harm)

(This is love, this is not treason)
We seek ways to not be liable
We claim to speak for a higher truth
(This is love, this is not treason)
We stand opposed to the homicidal
We tell you, you are fire proof

We'd rather make our children
(We request to negotiate)
Martyrs than murderers
(We come to you unarmed)

We'd rather make our children
(We desire to communicate)
White Flag
Warriors

We'd rather make our children
We'd rather make our children
(Do what you want your courage)

We'd rather make our children
(Ask us what you will)
(Demand from us a sacrifice)
We'd rather make our children
(But do not make us kill)
