Nothing New Under the Sun

Nothing New Under the Sun.(Satan’s little helpers) There’s nothing new under the sun, first came the sword then came the gun. Gonna make me a spear, gonna build me a rocket, every bullet they fire is money in my pocket. I’ve had you fighting your neighbour, had you fighting your brother. Had you fighting for ‘peace’ then fighting each other. Communist, Terrorist, Pacifist and Liberalist On the right on the left, whatever the label. I’ve got all my horses rounded up in one stable. The soldiers of Rome impaled their future king. The soldiers of Hitler did much the same thing. Oil is the earth’s blood, the prize they all seek, But I trade it for your blood every day of the week. It gives me a thrill to see that blood spill, They’re Satan’s little helpers and they’re there for the kill. You wanted it all, you reached for the moon. But you want things in my world, you gotta dance to my tune. I have to admit, it sends shivers down my spine, When you salute that flag and I know that you’re mine. There’s nothing new under the sun, Been tellin the same lies since the earth first begun. I’ll fill you full of facts, just one of my tricks, You wouldn’t know the truth if it hit you like bricks. When those witnesses come calling, trying to talk you some sense, You’ll pay them no heed at your own expense. I’m the winner now whether you live or die, as long as I have you believing the lie. You can’t see the picture, and that’s how I like it. By the time you learn history, you’re already part of it. There’s nothing new under the sun, first came the sword then came the gun….
