War Logic 2
Who cares about the lie of peace making
to cover up greedy hands dirty for oil
The arms race that has been promoted
since the discovery of the gun
just more ammunition to kill ourselves with
leaving us asking what have we done
Wouldn't it be something if social sciences played a part
in the salvation of societies
as we promote them to disarm, using intellect
psychology used for a global interest to stop the onslaught
that has never ended since we felt the need to protect eachother
from eachother
no need to continually build the murder machine
other parts of the world rewarded for their indolence
learning to turn the other cheek when it comes to leading men
into heartless mindless needless slaughters
to steal resources that belong to god
Stop the arms race
kick in the new song and dance to cheerlead the world to their utopia
these are the cards you have
why are you not seeing them for what they are
Every country does it
preparing for the worst
with no plan for the best
just constant reminders of why we need to invest in our own untimely deaths
the pen mightier than the sword
what could have been a holy man approaching a civilisation falling from grace
tried to deliver the message, then fell from grace himself
sing and dance your plan for peace
and consider that your plan for the best
it may seem like living a lie at first
until the generation raised this way carries out the dream you've been waiting for
rewards along the way for dismantling death machines
no reason to sell anybody any
what are we protecting ourselves from?
can't fathom sharing our land with another
too afraid to realise i didn't harm you, and don't wish to
they shouldn't want to harm me, ive done nothing to be considered their enemy
why allow myself to be swept up into someone elses emotions
and kill hundreds of thousands of people because of the actions of one man
one man made a big mistake, thousands of innocents shouldn't have to pay
prepare for the worst is all we seem to do worldwide
our problem will never go away until we plan for the best
a song and dance to lead us to our utopia
not the other way around
see through the propoganda
it's your world, it's your free will
the above are just the ways the domino can fall
the more guns you have, the less room you have for peace
the more weapons you build, just more to clean up after you take over the world
the whole planet with the same plan
new song and dance
anything to belong for peace
