The Dry Heathens - Splendid Little War Lyrics

You were looking out for number one
How it's always been starting from day one
Splendid little war, put you on higher ground
Armed with Golden Rule, time to rain it down
Run around run around run around
Wasting all this time
And still I try to tell myself I mean well

'Cause meanwhile down in Texas, they're breeding Hitlers
Except with Bibles
And in the other hand a gun
And if one day they should stumble upon Jesus
Preaching revolution
They'd lock him up without a trial

A letter from back home helps to keep 'em warm
More than uniform or allegiance sworn
A splendid little war 'cause not too many died
Guess it goes to show that God was on our side
Run around run around run around
Wasting all this time
And still I have to tell myself I mean well...
