Forever consumed in fire and death, our lives are filled with fear,
Listen to the war general, he'll stop the bad guys far and near,
Do you hear me calling? I have the answers! He shall say,
But listen to me closely, fools will follow him each day.

The bullets you use shall once again be trained upon your head,
Your body will be lifeless, listless, once they find you dead,
But follow the wartime dreamers! They have found the way,
They will keep our paths clear, keep violent terrorists away.

I've done my best and at any rate I've gone and shared my views,
That wartime efforts and it's strife has long time been abused,
But people will never learn, and on they will "make a change,"
One that's "good," one that's "needed," but they are actually insane.

Insanity-doing the same thing over and over each year, each decade, and expecting different or better results over time.
