White Flag Warrior Flobots (Ft. Tim McIlrath)

[Intro: Jonny 5]
We request to negotiate
We come to you unarmed
We desire to communicate
You cannot do us harm

[Verse 1: Jonny 5, Brer Rabbit]
They want sacrifice
They have schemes and ask 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
New 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
Spectres spectate we won't last
They're glad to hate when gladiators breathe their last
Scream en masse when the dreams do clash
Like swords in the war, let me bleed on that
But they feed on that, say we need strong backs
Call us weak and don't redeem contracts
But the feast won't last when this beast attacks
The sons and the fathers will be free at last

[Pre-Chorus: Tim McIlrath, Jonny 5]
(This is love, this is not treason)
(This is love, it's not treason)
(This is love, it's not treason)
(This is love, it's not treason)
(This is love) They see sharks in the estuary
(It's not treason) They claim the ark is Bartholomew's
(This is love) They say war is necessary
(It's not treason) But we say war is child abuse
