Million dollar missiles
Shot off like fireworks
Billion dollar warplanes
Full destructive networks
The best defense to build
Is to bank it on the guns
So when we need to use it
We got it by the tons
"We won't stand for this injustice"
When our wallet is at stake
But we'll claim, it's not our business
When there ain't no money to make
I respect the bravery
Of the servicemen
But not the policy
Of the politician
We did feed a monster
So he could kill our foe
But it's time to take him down
When he's out of our control
The question I must ask now
If we're the world's police
Why are there some countries
That have never known their peace?
Maybe they don't have oil
Or something to take from them
Maybe we're not King Arthur
Just greedy businessmen!
