	Back when
	Eisenhower was the
	President,
	Golf courses was where most of his time was spent.
	So I never really listened to what the
	President said,
	Because in general
	I believed that the
	General was politically dead.
	But he always seemed to know when the muscles were about to be flexed,
	Because I remember him saying something, mumbling something about a
	Military Industrial
	Complex. Americans no longer fight to keep their shores safe,
	Just to keep the jobs going in the arms making workplace.
	Then they pretend to be gripped by some sort of political reflex,
	But all they're doing is paying dues to the
	Military Industrial
	Complex. The
	Military and the
	Monetary,
	The Military and the
	Monetary,
	The Military and the
	Monetary.
	The Military and the
	Monetary, get together whenever they think its necessary,
	They turn our brothers and sisters into mercenaries, they are turning the planet into a cemetery.
	The Military and the
	Monetary, use the media as intermediaries, they are determined to keep the citizens secondary, they make so many decisions that are arbitrary.
	We're marching behind a commander in chief, who is standing under a spotlight shaking like a leaf. but the ship of state had landed on an economic reef, so we knew he was going to bring us messages of grief.
	The Military and the
	Monetary, were shielded by
	January and went storming into
	February,
	Brought us pot bellied generals as luminaries, two weeks ago
	I hadn't heard of the son of a bitch, now all of a sudden he's legendary.
	They took the honour from the honourary, they took the dignity from the dignitaries, they took the secrets from the secretary, but they left the bitch in obituary.
	The Military and the
	Monetary, from thousands of miles away in a
	Saudi Arabian sanctuary, had us all scrambling for our dictionaries, cause we couldn't understand the fuckin vocabulary.
	Yeah, there was some smart bombs, but there was some dumb ones as well, scared the hell out of
	CNN in that
	Baghdad hotel.
	The Military and the
	Monetary, they get together whenever they think its necessary,
	War in the desert sometimes sure is scary, but they beamed out the war to all their subsidiaries.
	Tried to make
	So Damn Insane a worthy adversary, keeping the citizens secondary, scaring old folks into coronaries.
	The Military and the
	Monetary, from thousands of miles in a
	Saudi Arabian sanctuary, kept us all wondering if all of this was really truely, necessary.
	We've got to work for
	Peace, Peace ain't coming this way.
	If we only work for
	Peace, If everyone believed in
	Peace the way they say they do, we'd have
	Peace. The only thing wrong with
	Peace, is that you can't make no money from it.
	The Military and the
	Monetary, they get together whenever they think its necessary, they've turned our brothers and sisters into mercenaries, they are turning the planet, into a cemetery.
	Got to work for
	Peace, Peace ain't coming this way.
	We should not allow ourselves to be mislead, by talk of entering a time of
	Peace, Peace is not the absence of war, it is the absence of the rules of war and the threats of war and the preparation for war.
	Peace is not the absence of war, it is the time when we will all bring ourselves closer to each other, closer to building a structure that is unique within ourselves because we have finally come to
	Peace within ourselves.
	The Military and the
	Monetary,
	The Military and the
	Monetary,
	The Military and the
	Monetary.
	Get together whenever they think its necessary, they've turned our brothers and sisters into mercenaries, they are turning parts of the planet, into a cemetery.
	The Military and the
	Monetary,
	The Military and the
	Monetary,
	We hounded the
	Ayatollah religiously,
	Bombed Libya and killed
	Quadafi's son hideously.
	We turned our back on our allies the
	Panamanians, and saw
	Ollie North selling guns to the
	Iranians.
	Watched Gorbachev slaughtering
	Lithuanians,
	We better warn the
	Amish, they may bomb the
	Pennsylvanians.
	The Military and the
	Monetary, get together whenever they think its necessary, they have turned our brothers and sisters into mercenaries, they are turning the planet, into a cemetery.
	I don't want to sound like no late night commercial, but its a matter of fact that there are thousands of children all over the world in
	Asia and Africa and in
	South America who need our help.
	When they start talking about 55 cents a day and 70 cents a day,
	I know a lot of folks feel as though that, thats not really any kind of contribution to make, but we had to give up a dollar and a half just to get in the subway nowadays.
	So this is a song about tommorrow and about how tommorrow can be better. if we all, "Each one reach one, Each one try to teach one".
	Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something, everyone must play a part, everyone got to go to work,
	Work for Peace.
	Spirit Say
	Work, Work for
	Peace If you believe the things you say, go to work.
	If you believe in
	Peace, time to go to work.
	Cant be wavin your head no more, go to work.
