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 |
