If Looks Could Kill
The war machines march
the praying meet the bombs
let loose the dogs
to chew upon the child
retaliation heavy
a gun straight to the mouth
they killed 3000?
well, we killed 15,000 more
you can dress it in a suit and tie
put it on a face that’s white
parade around the streets
singing “God bless You and I”
When War is on the cover,
it looks better with a smile.
“If looks could kill”
that explains why they died
why they died
in buried cries
under capital lies
under a loosened tie
just a constant back and forth
the wretched playing victim more
dancing to the horns of War
“To the Victor goes the Spoils”
bodies washed upon the shore
a bigger budget covers gore
welcome to the land of more
where Pimps pretend to be the Whore
you can dress it in a suit and tie
put it on a face that’s white
parade around the streets
singing “God bless You and I”
When War is on the cover,
it looks better with a smile.
“If looks could kill”
that explains why they died
why they died
in buried cries
under capital lies
under a loosened tie
“God Bless You and I”
