A gun in an eight year olds hand
Fighting and killing not noing the reasoning
Just to meet western demands

(Chorus)

People so close that they’ve become enemies

(Scream) the precious rock you crave is blacker than your hearts

Mindless youth and so called necessities

(Scream) stop it before, once again it starts

People to invisible to say

(Scream) surviving only to kill others is the test

fighting for the privilege to provide the west

it's off to a good start. I think if you expanded on it it could become a really good song, as it stands now. What i like about it is that it's not just another "war is bad, people die" song that attempts to be political but really doesn't say anything about any real issues. It's actually got a specific topic and a specific message. so far so good.

I agree with what jibber said. Also, just for the sake of using the great thing called technology, get a spell check on this, too. Sometimes, people can lose the message when reading and they are distracted by glaring mistakes.

But like Jib said, tell us what you're talking about. I could have written a song like that just by watching Black Hawk Down, or something similar. So assume that your audience doesn't know what you're talking about when singing/writing about a real life situation, and beef up the song a little more.
