lyrics

marching forward on the lies they say
give your life for the country they say
building tensions falling empires
fighting thinking dehumanizing
the best and brightest
the future they send
ending bloodlines and sowing revolution
police the world with our men
using force calling it democratic

where we're headed there is no hope
your sacrifice is not enough
peace through strength is fantasy
making us a lost society
this make believe is used to steal
sovereignty and it makes us feel
we have no fear as we rule
just sit back and be a fool

after 20 years and a million deaths what did we accomplish
install regimes that are west leaning while arming the enemy
sign the bombs sign the bills
negotiate who to kill

fight em over there
don't fight em over here
don't see the destruction so we don't care
gulf of Tonkin
the bay of pigs
false pretense to get us in
170 countries but not one within
occupy the world to prevent oppression
ironic really when you thing
how much we punish people for wrong think

where we're headed there is no hope
your sacrifice is not enough
peace through strength is fantasy
making us a lost society
this make believe is used to steal
sovereignty and it makes us feel
we have no fear as we rule
just sit back and be a fool

after 20 years and a million deaths what did we accomplish
install regimes that are west leaning while arming the enemy
sign the bombs sign the bills
negotiate who to kill

sign the bombs sign the bills
negotiate who to kill

leading mankind into darkness
writing history on the ashes of the fallen
