"with confidence
in our armed forces
with the unbounding determination
of our people
we will gain the inevitable triumph
so help us god..."
[v1]
more wars on foreign shores
more names for us to mourn
to misguide the misinformed
to ignore the sick & poor
thus we praise the Lords of War
on our knees & beg for more
a fresh poison for the weak
filthy little beasts
bred to conform
it's the dwarfed souls of greedy men
feculent, arrogant
that shackles our young to the cold concrete
& empty their guns in their bodies
they scream
"I'm not guilty"
they scream
"I'm not guilty"
but cowards hear only what they fear
SHOOT UNTIL THE THREAT STOPS
[chorus]
I'd rather be in battle than at peace
I'd rather be a wolf than a sheep
I'd rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle
the weak can sleep while I scream
I'd rather be in battle than at ...peace
I'd rather be a wolf than a ...sheep
I'd rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle
the weak can sleep while I scream
[v2]
you were born to be led
that's what Religion says
with a bifurcated tongue
America eats its young
bullet-toothed empty gods
paralyze the minds & congest the thoughts
with devils everywhere
bombs bursting in the air
drones flown over thrones
of bone & brimstone
sabers rattle in the homes
of the cowards & the crones
as they shackle our young blood stains the streets
pigs empty their guns in their bodies
they scream
"I'm not guilty"
they scream
"I'm not guilty"
but cowards hear only what they fear
SHOOT UNTIL THE THREAT STOPS
[chorus]
I'd rather be in battle than at peace
I'd rather be a wolf than a sheep
I'd rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle

I'd rather be in battle than at ...peace
I'd rather be a wolf than a ...sheep
I'd rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle
the weak can sleep while I scream
bow down to the

[pledge of resistance]
we rise in defiance
we won't remain silent
