The Apostle James made it clear,
Why people fight year after year.
Not happy with what they've got,
So they yield to a greedy thought.

Just grab land from a weaker one,
Tho it means at the point of a gun.
First you invent some good reason,
Then on the enemy it's open season.

Send in the young to fight your war,
Especially uneducated, and the poor.
Fill heads with ideas of democracy,
But hide well all of your hypocrisy.

Convince them it is a noble cause,
For when they face old death's jaws,
With patriotic pride, they will all die,
Tho your war was just based on a lie.

"From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts."
