lyrics

The thief and the liar, continuing the campaign
Consumed in a sea of fire, obsessed by the obscenity
That the only way to keep favour is to maintain perpetual war

But unlike the rest I won’t beat my chest
When another perjurer sends his employers to death
Lest we forget, lest we forget:

The shredded tatters, human wreckage in ruins
Futile massacre packed in seeping tombs
Sordid annihilation, senseless extermination
Atrocity is an ‘acceptable casualty’

I don’t share your sickening pride, or your tabloid brainwashed mind
You uphold their power to murder; you deliver carte blanche for slaughter
‘Protest is treason!' - What more justification do they need?
With their every utterance you agree: support war without reason

As the petulant child smashes its cradle, cheer the fallen idols
Salute the new dictators’ flag; wrap the corpses in the star spangled jack

So thumb your nose at the naysayers, there’s still no Armageddon
But the freedom you so fanfare is dead, your echoes of their promises are hollow
Patriotic nihilism, your only instinct: follow

The only way to keep favour: war
