We didn’t pay attentionnTo lessons learned in the pastnSoon the sands in the desertnWill melt from the atomic blastnMesopotamia’s ground zeronFor the coming of world warnThousands die in the sandnAnd I still don’t understand what fornn[Chorus]nAs it was, as it soon shall benWe’re teetering on the brinknOf a world war IIInA repetition of historynAs you soon shall seenAs it was, as it soon shall bennWar mongering leader of oursnWaves the flag of democracynSending our men out to dienIn the name of bureaucracynThe oil fields of IraqnAre overflowing with bloodnAnother man dies but the liesnRain down like a floodnn[Chorus]nnNo weapons of mass destructionnNo threat to menJust one man’s agenda for war,nNot a land of the freenI never gave a shitnAbout the Middle EastnBut now we lie in the bed that we’venMade, start the atomic feastnn[Chorus]
