I like how the title suggests England should be nuked Was listening to this while on a minibus, a ~4yo girl heard it and asked her mom "If everyone asked god to turn the war off, would he do it?". Got her mom and half the minibus in tears. Now that I've ran out of memes to translate, time to speak about the lyrics. While I agree with the notion I don't think listing consequences of war is enough to do... anything really. First of all, most of the people I know want to die anyway. And I'm sure there are authors who portrayed dying soldiers in much more terrifying ways, so doing it again but in a less shocking way seems pretty pointless. Now, I know a way to make better anti-war propaganda but it's asocial and also illegal where I live so I'll have to wait for Kanye to do it. Although these lyrics are weak as propaganda, they didn't fail to set the atmosphere and worked well with her voice and the music. Also wtf is that horn in The Glorious Land lmao I thought that sound came from somewhere else
