This started as some thoughts on Darfur and expanded from there. As always, all instruments, vocals, etc. by me.
This has been in the Top 200 on Neil Young's Living With War Protest Videos for over nine months.

Said the Warlord
The sunrise is glorious.
The colors of the sky.
The sleepy village comes to life
An emerging butterfly.
A boy on a country road.
A warm breeze gently blows.
Under a sky now blue.
He sees the feasting crows.
The sun begins to burn his feet.
The soil turns to dust.
A nightmare approaches.
As the wind begins to gust.

“Every boy grab gun.
Rape the mothers and daughters.
Kill all the sons.
Yeah, that’ll teach ‘em.”
Said the warlord.
Said the warlord.
“Follow me.
I’ll set you free
That’s what God said we should do.
That’s what God said we should do.”
I’m a rebel.
A freedom fighter.
An insurgent.
Fighting the infidels.
I’ll go down in history.
I’ll go to heaven,
for my good deeds.
