Braggery

Much more insane is knowing that they sell peace,
but they sell men, they sell weapons and there's more:
they always preach all this for “love!”.

Men consumed in folly
primal instincts in disputes
cling to ropes and ties
don't even know about sighs or smiles
so they sell war as peace
sell deaths, guns and men
They sell more pure disgrace
sell propaganda for pain
and more more, more more
preach everything in the name of love
