Ready For War
You're ready for war, I'm ready for more
You know the score that I abhor
See, I read the lore that you ignore
The loss of the poor rips us to the core
You're not ready to learn, you're ready to burn
The knowledge you spurn, that this world could turn
But it's fate that you earn when it's hate that you churn
We're all lit like a fern destined for the urn
You're ready for pain with nothing to gain
When war is a strain, our people are slain
And we all like to feign this isn't our bane
But death will reign again and again
You're ready to fight, regardless of right
Dead children by night, it's such a blight
This is humanity's plight, insanity's spite
But the issues are trite, and we say goodnight
You're ready for war, I'm ready for more...
