The Sale

How much did I spend on death today?
I been thinking bout the price we that we all pay
Politicians workin on ways to pad the bill
Raising the money to help us go and kill
What is it they say bout the nation who goes to war?
And what happens to the courage when we don’t believe no more?
Earn the trophies and stack the dead
Run from the fear that’s been planted in our head
People hungry go without a meal
Who’s the one who worked out this deal?
What is it they say about the nation that rots within?
If you pray you better pray God forgives us of our sin
No wisdom only force
Two party system living through a great divorce
Wipe your tears they make you look weak
Don’t you know God crushes the meek?
Separated by lies and deceit
But in the end we all still turn to meat
Lawyers thinking this all just a money game
Painting the walls with blood shed in our name
Mighty soldier strong and true
But you don’t respect the service they render you
Replace the president to no avail
The country still hides underneath it’s lazy veil
You sold your soul but what did you get for the sale
