People say it's peace time  We're looking towards the sun  We're destroying tanks and bombs  No more threatening "Red scum"  The Arabs? They've been silenced  And the oil is running free  So don't worry about your future  They've made it safe for you and me  But can you fill up your car and turn up your heat  Knowing your tank is filled with the blood of a terror democracy?  How about the puppets we put in power in South America?  To make sure we'd have no problems, unfriendly neighbors are such a  bother  International corporations cannot come and reap the harvest  If the people are in power they'd realize just why they're starving  There is a war going on in your town, it's right outside your door  Welfare? Ha! That's a fucking laugh  It's government candy, it's poverty's crack  For some there's no such thing as peace  Economic wars have gone on for centuries  The police? They're an army. An army built for you.  And the CIA and FBI don't have to follow rules  Filter drugs down from the heavens, and guns a blaze tonight  You only feed into their hands when you kill off your own kind  Well there's a weapon that they have that's more cruel than the bomb  'Cause you die off very slowly thinking YOU create the harm  It's a weapon they call welfare and it's something many want  And they're willing to give it out because it keeps you in the dark  Why kill you? You're a bother, but no one would stand for that  When we can put you in a ghetto style concentration camp  What better way to keep a list of everyone that's poor  Than to set up a program that keeps you coming back for more  Oh to live inside of your world must be such a fucking dream  Not to worry day to day about your fellow human beings  IF YOU NEED A CANE TO WALK, YOU'D GET NOWHERE WITHOUT IT.  IF YOU NEED A GOVERNMENT TO LIVE THEY'VE GOT YOU WHERE THEY WANT  YOU.
