	Story Behind the Song In the tradition of protest music, "Stand Down" articulates a voice of the dissent amidst the contradictory political impulses of globalization vs. oppressive Western foreign policy. Lyrics You can't win them all, Or just watch the Market fall, And although they try to stall, Say you can't take on all of the world, You're like a snake, a cobra coiled and curled... Waiting to strike, But you've got soldiers to psyche, While the refugees take flight, Do your gods give you the right to fight? I call down from higher ground, "Stand Down"... Drawn to the fate, To redeem the failed state, And a whole world to legislate, In you, Rome is reincarnate, why debate the cause of all the laws: the bombs will fall... Now it is done, But your War is never won, And the end will not be clear, While your people live in fear and here the Land so blessed is just a mess, Stand down! Now it is done.
