We didn¡¯t pay attention
|
to lessons learned in the past
|
Soon the sands in the desert
|
will melt from the atomic blast
|
Mesopotamia¡¯s ground zero
|
for the coming of world war
|
Thousands die in the sand
|
And I still don¡¯t understand what for
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
As it was, as it soon shall be
|
We¡¯re teetering on the brink
|
of a world war III
|
A repetition of history
|
as you soon shall see
|
As it was, as it soon shall be
|
|
[Solo: Gary]
|
|
War mongering leader of ours
|
waves the flag of democracy
|
Sending our men out to die
|
in the name of bureaucracy
|
The oil fields of Iraq
|
are overflowing with blood
|
Another man dies but the lies
|
rain down like a flood
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Solo: Lee]
|
|
No weapons of mass destruction
|
no threat to me
|
Just one man¡¯s agenda for war,
|
not a land of the free
|
I never gave a shit
|
about the Middle East
|
But now we lie in the bed that we¡¯ve
|
made, start the atomic feast
|
|
[Chorus]
|
