Bad Religion
LET THEM EAT WAR
(Greg Graffin/Brett Gurewitz)
There`s prophet on a mountain and he`s making up dinner
With long division and a riding crop
Anybody can feel like a winner when it`s served up piping hot
But the people aren`t looking for a handout
They`re America`s working corps
Can this be what they voted for?
Let them eat war!Let them eat war!That`s how to ration the poor
Let them eat war!Let them eat war!There`s an urgent need to feed declining pride
From the force to the union shops the war economy is making new jobs
But the people who benefit most are breaking bread with their benevolent host
Who never stole from the rich to give to the poor
All he ever gave to them was a war and a foreign enemy to deplore
Let them eat war!Let them eat war!That`s how to ration the poor
Let them eat war!Let them eat war!There`s an urgent need to feed declining pride
Kill em and eat em before they reach for their checks
Squeeze some blue coolars,make em bleed from their necks
Seize a few dollars from the people who sweat
Because it`s Freedom or Debt and they won`t question it(they won`t
question it)
At a jobsite the boss is God-like
Conditioned work horses park at a stop light
Seasoned vets with their feet in nets
A stone`s throw away from a rock fight,but not tonight feed em death
Feed `em death-here comes another ration-feed `em death-`cuz they`re the finest in the nation-feed `em death-when there`s nothing left to feed them with-feed `em death-it`s freedom or it`s
death!
LET THEM EAT WAR!LET THEM EAT WAR!THAT`S HOW RATION THE POOR
LET THEM EAT WAR!LET THEM EAT WAR!THERE`S AN URGENT NEED TO FEED.
