Lets All Go To War Again

Let’s all go to war again 
remembering our fallen men 
time for another slaughtering 
history never taught a thing 

We can learn it or relive it 
we always take the latter 
primal instincts haunt within 
let’s see the blood splatter 

Putin, Hitler, Napoleon 
a rotation of our allies 
An evolution of weapons 
win or lose still taking lives 

Winners don’t win they survive 
Enemies die before they rise
redrawing those borderlines 
never ending satisfied 

In time there will be a treaty 
with neither side retreating 
both sides take a beating
yet still we keep repeating 

Yeah because we’re evolved 
the apex with a complex 
a deep desire for conflicts 
killing for context for a resolve 

Let’s all go war again
remembering our fallen men 
let’s add many more to them 
I guess we’re off to war again
