War Hysteria
I sit here and wonder what causes war
Will it happen again and why’d it happen before?
I sit here and wonder and even ponder
War’s ok down here but is it up yonder?
Last time I checked all it did was kill
Raid, pillage, and steal yet you think it’s a thrill?
I’ve got so many questions and not enough answers
Why don’t we use the money spent on war to prevent some cancers
Or maybe we could use it to feed the poor
When society’s built on war I feel the need for something more
Fox News showed the bombing of Baghdad like it was the 4th of July
Bombs, fireworks, and hot dogs, America the mighty and high
Like Kanye West we all deserve to touch the sky
But not after a kid looks at a mass grave and says bye-bye
I look at war-torn hungry kids in Nigeria
And wonder why we think of war as anything but hysteria
They say war is great, war makes money
But if they lived in it every day they wouldn’t find it so funny
I don’t believe in war under any circumstance
Call me under a trance or reeled in by Bill Dance
But either way, I don’t like to fight
People that promote peace are the real ones with might
Is war our way of being all machismo?
You think it makes you something, psssh, cracker please yo
“Thou shalt not kill,” what happened to this?
If we aimed for Judeo-Christian values, I think we missed
Somewhere between war, euthanasia, and abortion
America’s thinking seems to make killing a great portion
To our thinking and our way of being
Because of war many people right now are unseeing
…Hello, that’s right people, I’m saying they’re dead
Knowing this goes on, how can you sleep comfortably in bed?
Bush keeps talking about this ‘culture of life’
While turning right around on Iraq with the gun and knife
A pre-emptive attack is still just that, an attack
War’s like a cancer taking life and I want it back
