Ironclad budgets, billions in the black
While schools crumble, bridges start to crack
Hospitals struggle, teachers get the shaft
But the war machine, it just keeps on laughing
Broken dreams in a parade of lies
As the profits soar, the silence cries
The battle's fought with a heavy hand
While the people suffer, no one understands
Endless wars, the price of might
Darkness falls, no end in sight
The blood of the innocent stains the ground
As the cycle of violence spins around
Politicians preaching, "Safety's our concern"
While they line their pockets, watch the money burn
They wave the flag, invoke the "enemy"
But the real enemy, they're afraid to see
Broken dreams in a parade of lies
As the profits soar, the silence cries
The battle's fought with a heavy hand
While the people suffer, no one understands
Endless wars, the price of might
Darkness falls, no end in sight
The blood of the innocent stains the ground
As the cycle of violence spins around
Broken dreams in a parade of lies
As the profits soar, the silence cries
The battle's fought with a heavy hand
While the people suffer, no one understands
Endless wars, the price of might
Darkness falls, no end in sight
The blood of the innocent stains the ground
As the cycle of violence spins around
Underneath the banners, the lies are spun
As the war machine devours everyone
The cost of war, it's far too high
Truth and justice are left to die
Broken dreams in a parade of lies
As the profits soar, the silence cries
The battle's fought with a heavy hand
While the people suffer, no one understands
Endless wars, the price of might
Darkness falls, no end in sight
The blood of the innocent stains the ground
As the cycle of violence spins around
