[00:00.00]Big Blue Ball Of War - Nanci Griffith
[00:10.47]In 1914 this ball was at war
[00:21.36]It went from Belgium on through Ireland
[00:27.28]The Congo then back home
[00:30.13]This big blue ball of war spun on its own
[00:37.26]Spinning history in lines of blood
[00:44.02]When many souls fell off
[00:47.05]We all ride on
[00:50.51]This big blue ball of war
[00:55.85]Souls with tickets through the veil
[00:59.45]We all ride on
[01:01.52]We all ride on
[01:05.05]This big blue ball of war
[01:10.31]We choose to spin around and ride
[01:14.19]This big blue ball of war
[01:17.84]Almost a century the blood has flowed
[01:25.73]We're killed our men of peace around this ball
[01:31.93]And refused to hear their ghosts
[01:34.86]We spend our destinies in deeds of hate
[01:42.50]Humanity upon this ball
[01:48.36]Is just a bloody fall from grace
[01:51.94]We all ride on
[01:55.04]We all ride on
[01:57.17]This big blue ball of war
[01:59.94]Souls with tickets through the veil
[02:03.79]We all ride on
[02:06.12]We all ride on We all ride on
[02:12.06]This big blue ball of war
[02:14.49]We choose to spin around and ride
[02:18.32]This big blue ball of war
[02:22.11]A reformation might just save us all
[02:45.78]A voice of harmony and open heart
[02:52.22]Where the women teach the song
[02:54.93]These men of evil deed can be proven wrong
[03:01.94]If we join hand to hand with Abraham
[03:08.49]So not a soul falls off
[03:11.80]We all ride on
[03:15.12]We all ride on
[03:17.80]This big blue ball of war
[03:20.17]Souls with tickets through the veil
[03:24.04]We all ride on
[03:26.41]We all ride on We all ride on
[03:32.10]This big blue ball of war
[03:34.62]We choose to spin around and ride This big blue ball of war
