War

when evil is all that stands to power
well i tell you, this ain’t our finest hour
they’ll sell your kids from the right hand of god
while you sit and binge without any trousers on

being a legal junkie sure is any easy way out
when the color of your skin doesn’t raise a brow
“but we’re so far beyond that these days”
says the man on the hill livin’ cozy and endowed

war - it’s so serene
war - on my tv screen
war - all colored in green
war - well haven’t you seen?

there’s kids playin’ in the streets
and they ain’t got no shoes on their feet
with tattered dolls and old shell casings
there’s a curtain call on youth worth saving

bullets, bombs, a million ways to die
but didn’t you see the top 10 ways to shed fat from your thighs
from baghdad to rio, ciudad to detroit
life on the line, ain’t no time to get

wise war - it’s so serene
war - on my tv screen
war - all colored in green
war - well haven’t you seen?

you think it’s fine they all sit around and lie
as long as you can reach for that pie in the sky
but hey they burned the sky long ago
and they’re taking what’s left
leaving us just enough to get high

war - it’s so serene
war - on my tv screen
war - all colored in green
war - it’s so obsene!
