Bush


2017
Album: Black and White Rainbows
white nationalist rally


Frontman Gavin Rossdale was inspired to pen the politically charged song after seeing the violence that erupted during an August 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia:

"Hatred and bigotry are the best friends of stupidity," Rossdale said. "The title isn't a call to arms, it's a call for humanity. It's actually an anti-war song - an observation of the times. The title is a reference to good versus evil. This is a time for inclusion, compassion and understanding. We need to stay strong."


This wasn't on the original release of Black And White Rainbows. When Bush re-formed in 2010 after their 2002 breakup, they signed with Zuma Rock Records, which issued the album in March 2017. In October, the band signed with BMG in a deal that included Rossdale's publishing. They released a remastered version of the album, with "This Is War" added to the tracklist.

This Is War by Bush - Songfacts
If you can see me
You can save my skin
I could trust you
If you could see me within

Is this the way you see yourself?
Is this the way you've never been wrong?
Is this the way you work yourself?
Is this the way you come undone?

Is this the way you see yourself?
Is this the way you've never been wrong?
Is this the way you hurt yourself?
Is this the way you come undone?

This is war
This is the strange fruit
This is the end of me
This is the end of you
This is war
This is war

If you can free your mind
If you could loose the chains that chain
If you could walk through the mine fields of history
What we came to be

Is this the way you see yourself?
Is this the way you've never been wrong?
Is this the way you hurt yourself?
Is this the way you come undone?

This is war
This is the strange fruit
This is the end of me
This is the end of you
This is war
This'll be televised
This is how we live
This is how we die
This is war
This is war

No

They can try to break you down
Water beats rocks
They can try to break you down
Water beats rocks
They can try to break you down
Water beats rocks
They can try to break you down

This is war
This is the strange fruit
This is the end of me
This is the end of you
This is war
This'll be televised
This is how we live
This is how we die
No more war
This is how we die
No more war
This is how we die

This is how we die
This is war
This is war
This is war
This is war
