This War |
| You’ve got the mouth of a she wolf |
| Inside the mask of an innocent lamb |
| You say your heart is all compassion |
| But there’s just a flat line on your cardiogram |
| Yet you always made a profit baby |
| If it was a famine or a feast |
| Yes, I’m the soul of indiscretion |
| I was cursed with x-ray vision |
| I could see right through all the lies you told |
| When you smiled for the television |
| And you can see the coming battle |
| You pray the drums will never cease |
| And you may win this war that’s coming |
| But would you tolerate the peace? |
| Investing in munitions |
| And those little cotton flags |
| Invest in wooden caskets |
| In guns and body bags, guns and body bags |
| Your daddy was a businessman |
| And it always made good sense |
| You know the war can make you rich my friend |
| In dollars, pounds and cents |
| In the temple that was Mammon’s |
| You were ordained the parish priest |
| Yes you may win this coming battle |
| But could you tolerate the peace? |
| Invest in deadly weapons |
| And those little cotton flags |
| Invest in wooden caskets |
| In guns and body bags |
| You’re invested in oppression |
| Investing in corruption |
| Invest in every tyranny |
| And the whole world’s destruction |
| I imagine there’s a future |
| When all the earthly wars are over |
| You may find yourself just standing there |
| On the white cliffs of Dover |
| You may ask, what does it profit a man |
| To gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? |
| Is that your body you see on the rocks below |
| As the tide begins to roll? |
| And you invested in this prison |
| From which you never got released |
| You may have won this war we’re fighting |
| But would you tolerate the peace? |
| There’s a war on our democracy |
| A war on our dissent |
| There’s a war inside religion |
| And what Jesus might have meant |
| There’s a war on mother nature |
| A war upon the seas |
| There’s a war upon the forests |
| On the birds and the bees |
| There’s a war on education |
| A war on information |
| A war between the sexes |
| And every nation |
| A war on our compassion |
| A war on understanding |
| A war on love and life itself |
| It’s war that they’re demanding |
| Make it easy on yourself |
| And don’t do nothing |
