Born and raised highly trained to be warlike
Turning children into arms for the state
Give us your name we'll give you a number
A vest on your chest and a gun on your waist
We barely ask for a rhyme or reason
Any opposition is an act of treason
Flying a flag and wearing a ribbon
Stockpiling guns and ammunition
And just like that we’re
Sending soldiers off to die
Over fucking ideologies
While we hold our heads up high
Gun lust and greed
A fucked up God and country
Killing in the name
of democracy
We kill each other in astonishing numbers
Bombs in the air and boots on the pavement
They sell us lies in patriotic disguises
A scared sheep is a willing slave
Offshore accounts and shell corporations
Profit profit profit free from taxation
Government subsidies hyper inflation
Im looking for work while you go on vacation
You're taking kick backs while you kick back
Watching your war unfold from your laptop
A hundred million fists raised high in air
We're the war torn poor with the thousand yard stare
And just like that wer’e
Sending soldiers off to die
Over fucking ideologies
While we hold our heads up high
Gun lust and greed
A fucked up God and country
Killing in the name
of democracy
