when the war...

you claim it is for democracy proliferation
you show no skill in hazard identification
wound is as deep as an amputee's

when the war
gives the wagers a clue
they soon will be
pink mist, too
would they cease?
end it now

your greed takes its toll
leaving soldiers bodies and families
less than whole
you've claimed victory
but you have lost control

when the war
gives its wagers a clue
they soon will be
pink mist, too
win it now by
ending it now

you tell us its for a greater cause
your senators give you
brain-washed like applause
you don't target the dictators
without the reserves
you justify your every move
say it is deserved

you spread the hate us more
what put us in their target
is the question you ignore
this is the one
we will ask
when the war
goes on

your vengeance takes its toll
leading to all of our lives and families being less than whole
as you stay that course
you loose your soul

while your oil profits soar
the news images you ignore
he says he will protect you
i don't subscribe to that point of view
