Exporting weapons and warfare to the world
We happily endorse genocide
Fighting terrorism inside your screen
While we finance it on the side
Desert landscapes, so much oil underground
Controlled by a friendly elite
Impoverished men offer the labour we all need
Toiling under the heat
Killing their own people to satisfy their needs
Cruel greed, brutal deed, black veins, the earth now bleeds
Feel the hatred, fight your dreaded terror
Open war, cold war, lords of war, contemplate the horror
Humanitarian missiles
Deathmongers of hypocrisy
Murder for profit, selling their weapons
The beast feeds itself
Hundreds of bases throughout the globe
National parasites
Rapacious culture
Self-serving greed while believing their superiority
The lords of war, rulers of this world
Lords of war, drenched in blood
Killing their own people to satisfy their needs
Cruel greed, brutal deed, black veins, the earth now bleeds
Feel the hatred, fight your dreaded terror
Open war, cold war, lords of war, contemplate the horror
Time to see the sky burn red
Time to see the eyes of the dead
Time to hope for the dawn
Time to see our time is gone
Syrian mothers contemplate their ravaged land
Pawns in the games of the ones in control
The western powers defend their status
Their comfort their only goal
African children enslaved and suffering
Bring cocoa to your table
May another race develop ethics
For humanity seems unable
Time to see the sky burn red
Time to see the eyes of the dead
Time to hope for the dawn
Time to see our time is gone
Killing their own people to satisfy their needs
Cruel greed, brutal deed, black veins, the earth now bleeds
Feel the hatred, fight your dreaded terror
Open war, cold war, lords of war, contemplate the horror
