    Story Behind the Song
    Chris Brown and Kate Fenner wrote the song Resist War during the latter part of 2002, as the USA moved closer to embarking on a war with Iraq. It was first performed at The Living Room in New York City at the turn of the year.

    Lyrics
    I will resist war
    I will not be seduced by hate
    I'll live in service
    the only enemy is my own heart
    should I decide too late
    to challenge the very name
    for what is war
    but rich spending poor inside a game

    it's not just the bullets
    it's more than cannons in a field
    it's the brutal fabric
    sewn by every crooked deal
    and the loose threads of justice
    pulled for this contest we are in
    for what is life
    if it takes them to die for us to win
     
    are you listening?
    there is a prophet in our midst
    it is the corpse
    a dead hand curled into a fist
    will you ignore
    the timeless story of the name
    of what war is
    and how it all turns out the same
     
    oh truth--what's to be done?
    they've made a liar of everyone
     
    and every tyrant
    is built a dollar at a time
    so here's your hitler--
    standing on nickles and on dimes
    oh the crimes
    being done everyday
    and nothing's changing
    it's all perpetuating hate
     
    one more lie
    one more battle
    one more grave
    war without end
    and if the willing and the brave
    and the deaths of millions
    has promised no relief
    then i take my life
    and place it on the side of peace.
