this century began
war on afghanistan
a turn or two around the clock
woke up the war was on iraq
state of perpetual terror
they got them nukulers thererrr
fire by trial and error
reducing nations to soil
said bring 'em on to a boil
blood alchemized to oil
what will they think when we are gone
what will they have when we are done
will they see wars cannot be won?
what will they think that we were on
will they think we were having fun
will the blood shed by a father burn into the son?
truth is that truth prevails
mostly when all else fails
sure can buy happiness
from a wall street address
gamble a penny or two
it may not belong to you
laugh as the bets fall through
then take a little bit more
skip out the columned front door
it's 99% paid for
what will they think when we are gone
what will they have when we are done
will they see wars cannot be won?
what will they think that we were on
will they think we were having fun
will the blood shed by a father burn into the son?
what will they think when we are gone
what will they have when we are done
will they see wars?
will they seek wars?
will you feed the demon or will you fight it
will you put it out or will you light it,
stand up, rise up, raise uproar
haven't we been here before?
what will they think when we are gone
what will they have when we are done
will they see wars cannot be won?
what will they think that we were on
will they think we were having fun
will the blood shed by a father burn into the son?
