The Peaceful Warrior
Lyrics by DarkN8V
Arr. Composey
Banjo tuning: Fnatual-D-G-A-D

Chorus:
My name is Composey and I'm at war for Peace
all senseless attacks I see must cease
So what am I doing here and what do I want to say
is that this world has got to change its way

Verse 1:
I'm going to battle for the red white yellow and black
I'm going to fight for the ones who can't fight back
and I'm talking about the creatures from the water to the sky
about all the issues from the truth to the lies

gonna make my stand with a paper and a pen
wanna argue that, go back to bed again
cause you never gonna win against what I stand for
so sit down, and listen as I give my (grand) tour

Bridge
I'm going to target corruption in our government
(I'm going to) target the poison in our environment
I'm going to target injustice to the people
I'm going to hit every target or I won't keep still

and I'm going to battle the battle of the battles
I'll shake up the cage until it rattles
cause you never gonna get rid of me
not until the problems of the world are cut at the knee

know what I'm saying? let me kick this out one more time
the message in my rhyme

Chorus:
my name is Composey and I'm at war for peace
all senseless attacks I see must cease
I'm going to fight for the red white yellow and black
I'm going to fight for the ones who can't fight back

Verse:
so let's keep passing around our information
improve this planet through education
somebody's gotta make the people aware
someones gotta make everybody care

so pass my message on if you dare
and whether it's mine or yours, we all got to share
because there's more power in one (person’s) voice
than all the weapons of military choice

bridge
so with our voices we can shout out loud
We’re part of the human race and we are proud
you don't have to be a master of science
to see that we need to make a worldwide alliance

in order to approach the corporations
(that's) axing people for insubordination
when they bring what's happening to our waters
and the diseases spreading through our slaughters

verse
about the government officials right behind them
with their backdoor handshakes and verbal deals that bind them
We’ve seen how the world can be devastated
through the actions of people with minds of hatred

There's no getting through a war without losses
Lennon, King and Ghandi are (all on) symbolic crosses
speakers of the past inspire speakers of the future
try to heal (this world) with a metaphorical suture (pause)

Chorus:
my name is Composey and I'm at war for peace
all senseless attacks I see must cease
But I won't be able to move this world all alone
so just remember this is also your home
Outro: (
so if I put my voice with your voice and shout together
why people gonna hear us and things are gonna get better
Denay, peace
