you think you've got us fooled with your eloquent talk
but your finger's on the button, crossed behind your back
showing so much compassion in the public eye
but what about 30,000 more that you've sent to die?
a peace prize in war time and more tears for prime time
more politicians, more politicians
more politicians, more politicians
more politicians, now another one dead
first Jack, then Bobby, now the last one's Ted
keep us distracted from the lies that we're fed
the stink is always different but the herring's still red
it's the same old trick, just the same bullshit
and nothing changes for anyone but the rich
what's more important? what have you done?
killed a generation or just one man?
same man, same God, same fraud, same shit
more politicians, more politicians
more politicians, more politicians
more politicians, now another one dead
first Jack, then Bobby, now the last one's Ted
keep us distracted from the lies that we're fed
the stink is always different but the herring's still red
the same war in Afghanistan
a brand new war in Pakistan
more money for the pentagon
and shit for education
shit for welfare nation
shit for what we've got
and shit for men who fought
but if shit is all they spew
then what we gonna do? what we gonna do?
what we gonna do? what we gonna do?
what we gonna do, are we gonna keep voting?
what we gonna do, are we gonna keep shouting?
what we gonna do, are we gonna keep waiting?
what we gonna do? what we gonna do?
i'll tell you mister big man: if i gotta kick your head in
to make you fucking get it, well then i'll have to fucking do it
'cause i wanna make you pay and if that's the only way
remember, you made this system. you did it, not me.
i never did like violence
but i hate your fucking state
and i won't wear your chains
even if i have to fight!
