Lyrics

We strip war down to essentials
We don't waste no time or flesh
Beautiful is our destruction
Clean and fresh
You don't have to follow leaders
You don't have to choose a side
No opinions volunteered by the millions
Who died
Don't feel you're a part of private
You can be the rank you choose
Not that it makes any difference
You lose
Someone up there doesn't like me
Doesn't want this girl alive
I've done what is most forbidden
Survive
I don't know who moves the counters
Deals the cards or makes the rules
Gives the orders, pulls the levers
Playing wars
I'm a peaceful soul, I swear it
I don't wish no human ill
But let me at those warring players
I'd kill
Someone up there doesn't like me
Doesn't want this girl alive
I've done what is most forbidden
Survive
I don't know who moves the counters
Deals the cards or makes the rules
Gives the orders, pulls the levers
Playing wars
Got me wanting to kill
I want to hate
Wanting to kill
Corruption, it's great
Want to kill
Got me wanting to kill
I want to hate
Someone up there doesn't like me
Doesn't want this girl alive
All I've done is survive
