Body bags, body bags,
All lined up in a row,
Yeah, send the boy toys,
Off to war they all go.

Same thing in Russia.
Same thing in Ukraine,
Same thing in every war,
The young feel the pain.

Fodder for their cannons,
They're just grinder meat,
Pure human waves of misery,
Don't dare make a retreat.

Human limbs go flying,
Drones strike from the air,
A thousand boys lay dying,
But leaders just don't care.

Got to feed their monster,
Yeah, more blood it demands,
And so the war rages on,
Way off in foreign lands.

But that is quite okay,
There's money to be made,
It is great for business,
As long as they get paid.

Ike so tried to warn us,
He really knew the score,
He understood the reasons,
What wars are really for.

Yet people are so blind,
Falling for patriotic crap,
So the next thing you know,
Our kids are in their trap.

Sacrifice them on the altar,
It is your duty after all,
Sure, proudly send them off,
When your country gives a call.

But as for those elite,
Not a son do they ever send,
It's just a poor man's war,
When will it ever end?

"And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus [meaning the Apostle Peter] stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?"


"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth . . . Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God . . . But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
