Time came to leave
|
You know there's something
|
About the principle
|
Of what goes on behind the scenes
|
The military machine
|
The way they led me on...
|
Stiletto in the sand
|
Thrusted down in anger
|
Bloody to the handle
|
Diamond red
|
Machines of mass destruction
|
Well I helped to design them
|
The guilt of children's blood stains on my hands
|
|
The word from the board room
|
Our boys in Tehran have scored
|
|
How long till we realize the truth?
|
The bottom line of defense and world security
|
The bankers and the ministry of arms
|
Just cut the deal and the war is on
|
The village burned the desert set ablaze
|
Who are these men with their finger's in everybody's pie?
|
Big rockets and their profiles all the rage
|
Their business plan calls for ware for sale
|
|
Please understand
|
Until I saw all this
|
I never thought about the third world trampled under wheels
|
Out in the streets and in the fields
|
I simply questioned it all...
|
Stiletto in the sand
|
Fingers on the triggers
|
Tempers boiling over
|
Bleed them red
|
|
Machines of mass destruction
|
Oh why did I design them?
|
The guilt of children's blood stains on my hands
|
|
Napalm and land mines
|
Nobody left alive
|
|
How long 'til we realize the truth?
|
The bottom line of defense and world security
|
the banker's and the ministry of arms
|
Just cut the deal and the war is on
|
The market screams a recommended buy
|
The contract's in don't just sit there get your broker on the line
|
Big money left their morals far behind
|
Guess what we've got - we got war for sale
|
|
How long 'til we realize the truth?
|
The bottom line of defense and world security
|
the banker's and the ministry of arms
|
Just cut the deal and the war is on
|
The village burned the desert set ablaze
|
Who are these men with their finger's in everybody's pie?
|
Then freedom's ring departed from today
|
There's just no doubt - we got war for sale!
