This War(Album Version)

You've got the mouth of a she wolf[00:00:21]

Inside the mask of an innocent lamb[00:00:23]

You say your heart is all compassion[00:00:26]

But there's just a flat line on your cardiogram[00:00:28]

Yet you always made a profit baby[00:00:31]

If it was a famine or a feast[00:00:34]

Yes I'm the soul of indiscretion[00:00:41]

I was cursed with x-ray vision[00:00:43]

I could see right through all the lies you told[00:00:45]

When you smiled for the television[00:00:48]

And you can see the coming battle[00:00:51]

You pray the drums will never cease[00:00:54]

And you may win this war that's coming[00:01:01]

But would you tolerate the peace [00:01:05]

Investing in munitions[00:01:21]

And those little cotton flags[00:01:23]

Invest in wooden caskets[00:01:26]

In guns and body bags guns and body bags[00:01:28]

Your daddy was a businessman[00:01:41]

And it always made good sense[00:01:43]

You know the war can make you rich my friend[00:01:46]

In dollars pounds and cents[00:01:49]

In the temple that was Mammon's[00:01:52]

You were ordained the parish priest[00:01:55]

Yes you may win this coming battle[00:02:01]

But would you tolerate the peace [00:02:05]

Invest in deadly weapons[00:02:31]

And those little cotton flags[00:02:33]

Invest in wooden caskets[00:02:36]

In guns and body bags[00:02:38]

You've invested in oppression[00:02:41]

Investing in corruption[00:02:43]

Invest in every tyranny[00:02:45]

And the whole world's destruction[00:02:47]

I imagine there's a future[00:03:01]

When all the earthly wars are over[00:03:03]

You may find yourself just standing there[00:03:06]

On the white cliffs of Dover[00:03:08]

You may ask what does it profit a man[00:03:11]

To gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul[00:03:13]

Is that your body you see on the rocks below[00:03:16]

As the tide begins to roll [00:03:19]

And you invested in this prison[00:03:21]

From which you never got released[00:03:25]

You may have won this war we're fighting[00:03:31]

But would you tolerate the peace [00:03:35]

There's a war on our democracy[00:03:56]

A war on our dissent[00:03:58]

There's a war inside religion[00:04:00]

And what Jesus might have meant[00:04:02]

There's a war on mother nature[00:04:04]

A war upon the seas[00:04:06]

There's a war upon the forests[00:04:08]

On the birds and the bees[00:04:10]

There's a war on education[00:04:12]

A war on information[00:04:14]

A war between the sexes[00:04:15]

And every nation[00:04:17]

A war on our compassion[00:04:18]

A war on understanding[00:04:20]

A war on love and life itself[00:04:22]

It's war that they're demanding[00:04:24]

Make it easy on yourself[00:04:46]

And don't do nothing[00:04:50]

Make it easy on yourself[00:04:55]

And don't do nothing[00:05:00]

Make it easy on yourself[00:05:05]

And don't do nothing[00:05:10]

Make it easy on yourself[00:05:15]
