War (Live)

This next one is about war

It doesn't take too long to grow old

Right from the day that your sorry soul was sold

Your name was there from naught years old

On the dotted line

You're lucky if you realize

You're trapped and institutionalized

It's not just you that's victimized

It's happened throughout time

This planet is at war

This planet is at war

Forget about your perks and your insane works

This planet is at war

This planet is at war

This planet is at war

Your little luxuries will have you on your knees

This planet is at war

The IMF and the World Bank

Think that your sorry life isn't worth a wank

But really, they have you to thank

For voting in their drones

They have the third world clapped in chains

These neo-liberal super brains

With warheads, tanks, and bomber planes

Their answer should you moan

This planet is at war

This planet is at war

Forget about your perks and your insane works

This planet is at war

This planet is at war

This planet is at war

Your little luxuries will have you on your knees

This planet is at war

This is a dark hierarchy

That needs victim dependency

Thrives on all the apathy

While money rapes the earth

And if you find this world deranged

And if you want to make it change

There are lots of frightened people who feel the same

Question is, how?

Direct action is a real voice

Free your imprisoned heart and rejoice

Revolution seems the only sane choice

With things as they are now

And on the environmental front line

Kids are fighting back come rain or shine

Fighting to protect yours, theirs, and mine

The planet is at war

This planet is at war

This planet is at war

Forget about your perks and your insane works

This planet is at war

This planet is at war

This planet is at war

Your little luxuries will have you on your knees

This planet is at war

Merci

Merci, merci
