With confidence in our armed forces
With the unbounding determination of our people
We will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God

More wars on foreign shores
More names for us to mourn
To misguide the misinformed
To ignore the sick and poor
Thus we praise the lords of war
On our knees and beg for more
A fresh poison for the weak
Filthy little beasts
Bred to conform

It’s the dwarfed souls of greedy men
Feculent, arrogant
That shackles our young to the cold concrete
And empty their guns in their bodies

They scream I’m not guilty
They scream I’m not guilty
But cowards hear only what they fear
Shoot until the threat stops

I’d rather be in battle than at peace
I’d rather be a wolf than a sheep
I’d rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle
The weak can sleep while I scream
I’d rather be in battle than at peace
I’d rather be a wolf than a sheep
I’d rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle
The weak can sleep while I scream

You were born to be led
That’s what religion says
With a bifurcated tongue
America eats its young
Bullet-toothed empty gods
Paralyze the minds and congest the thoughts
With devils everywhere
Bombs bursting in the air
Drones flown over thrones
Of bone and brimstone
Sabers rattle in the homes
Of the cowards and the crones
As they shackle our young
Blood stains the streets
Pigs empty their guns in their bodies

They scream I’m not guilty
They scream I’m not guilty
But cowards hear only what they fear
Shoot until the threat stops

I’d rather be in battle than at peace
I’d rather be a wolf than a sheep
I’d rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle
The weak can sleep while I scream
I’d rather be in battle than at peace
I’d rather be a wolf than a sheep
I’d rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle
The weak can sleep while I scream

Bow down to the lords of war
On your knees for the lords of war
Bow down to the lords of war
On your knees for the lords of war

We rise in defiance
We won’t remain silent
To triumph over tyrants
And police violence
Shoot until the threat stops
We rise in defiance
We won’t remain silent
To triumph over tyrants
And police violence
Shoot until the threat stops

We’re not guilty
We’re not
We’re not guilty
We’re not
Help us God

The weak can scream while we scream

I’d rather be in battle than at peace
I’d rather be a wolf than a sheep
I’d rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle
The weak can sleep while I scream
I’d rather be in battle than at peace
I’d rather be a wolf than a sheep
I’d rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle
The weak can sleep while I scream

The lords of war
On your knees for the lords of war
Bow down to the lords of war
