Paper Cities

We sent them all across the ocean
 Many lives were taken
 Well I didn't cry, I didn't know them
 And I just looked on with no expression
 This land was once a home
 Of friends and family
 We used to know
 They are all gone now
 They are now gone
 And for what I cannot tell
 Put down your banners and flowers
 This war you've made won't last
 Your country, just lines on a map
 They're drawn up, they don't last
 The paper cities burning
 The ashes fell like rain
 But when the fire was over
 Everything had changed
 The people come together
 Reminds us we're the same
 Put down banners and flowers
 This war you've made won't last
 Your country, just lines on a map
 They're' drawn up, but they don't last
