World War Death
It's time to take our last breath
The king is dead
Long live death
One too many bombs
One too many times
One too...
One two...
Left
Right
Right
Wrong
Whose side is god on
Whose prayers does he answer
Whose prayers does he refuse
Did heaven and hell lose track
Of what all this bloodshed is for
Is it pride and money
Is it lies and corruption
Is it just business as usual
Changing the rules of chest
Rearranging the squares
of tic-tac-toe
Shine shine shine
Press and fold
Body bags by the dozen
Coffins and tombstones
Waiting back at home
Blood is cheap
And easy to make
Keep them dumb
And on their knees
Pumping out fresh
Meat for the teeth
Of the old blind dogs
Of hate and war
And keep them poor
So they have no choice but
World War Death
