-- Lyrics --

They make wars
Create wars
They have lots
And they take more
From the have-nots
They’ll take yours
They make borders
They hate foreigners
They hate life
They take life
They take rights
And it aint right
But they don’t play
And don’t play fight
And then they play dumb
I can’t play nice
When they cake
And we stay poor
See they’re snakes
We hate war
We hate war!
But they hate peace
So we make war to make peace
That’s the Great War
We were made for
We were not made to just lay dormant

They stay on top
They pay the cops
They take office
They make laws
And then say, stop?
They say, war just makes war
But then they force us
When state forces all aim for us
And then they say that they’re brave warriors
And saviours
But they’re fake prophets
They make war
‘Cause they profit
They make rockets
Sell to all sides
And it all lines they pockets
Watch ‘em

Masters of war
These fat cats cash in tax-free
On the backs of the poor masses
Diplomats with a mask of decorum
We warned ‘em
Now we’re storming the castle
It’s warranted for the horrors they enact
They’ll pay for it
We’ve paid more than our fair share
And it aint fair
Now we take theirs
They took yours

They made the war
They wage war
Create war
We hate war
We hate war!
But they hate peace
So we make war to make peace
That’s the Great War
We were made for
We were not made to just lay dormant
They invade shores
They raid homes
They rain bombs
And the rain pours
They make war

We don’t make war
We make sure that there’s order
We just follow orders
We just fill orders
For more ballistics, munitions
Equipment for missions, provisions
We just design defense systems
And ship them on time
Listen
My job is complying with city by-laws
And minimizing innocent lives lost
For my bosses
Both at home and abroad
For instance
Drones with a bomb
Can resolve conflicts
All while limiting high costs
So why not?

All businesses strive to expand
War just provides us the chance
To supply a demand
Our stance is, we make instruments
We don’t create incidents
Or instigate
We’re innocent
You’re insolent
Listen

We don’t make war
We all make our decisions
We all gotta make a living
And you make yours
And our position is
That we don’t make war

We may create conditions conducive
Create divisions
But prove it

We make moves
But we don’t make war

We don’t endorse or advocate using force
In fact, our lawyers make sure
Technically, we don’t make war

They place orders, we fill ‘em
They break borders, we kill ‘em
We’re not villains
They’re not civilians
We don’t make war

It existed before and why would I
Or anybody try to make more?
For shame
We’re not to blame for the slain, the flames
The poor, the games, the gains
We all have to deal

We make deals
But we don’t make war
We’re real
We’re realistic
No feels, we talk statistics
Specifics
We’re not mystics
You should pray more

We’re religious
We’re not malicious or vicious
We’re not sadistic
Yo, listen
Don’t get it twisted
Of course
We don’t make war
We don’t make war
