The War On Peace

We'll start by looking into the past
And decide if we want to make it last
To figure out where this "nessicary" evil came from
I'll have to start with World War I...

Archduke Franz Ferdinand shot in the head
4 years, 3 months and 14 days later 37 million dead!
Everyone was in the ground so we were just unaware
Until planes came in and saw all from the air

Oh my god I think I’m going insane
This is just too much for all 10% of my brain
It’s just like the crooked police
I can’t take much more of this War On Peace

Germany blitzkriegs its way onto Poland
America drops the A-bomb on Japan(d)!
$562 billion was the total cost
This time around on 55 million lives lost

Am I the only one losing my mind?
Or am I the only one that’s not blind?
When will all this madness cease?
Not as long as we have this War On Peace

Next up is the Cold War
Now my favorite Union isn’t around anymore
East and West gone as the wall came crumbling down
No more sickle and hammer and Soviet is just a common noun

Walk the streets with my sidearm
Just trying to keep them free of harm
Watching out for myself and my niece
All in the name of The War On Peace

Send our young men unprepared into ‘Nam
Such a useless fight, how were we suppose to remain calm?
The one war we could not win
So we just choose to take it on the chin

That’s it, I now officially refuse to think
I’ll take my camo’ and this four-o to drink
Take time off to retire in Greece
I don't want to be involved in this War On Peace

Nixon decides to start up the Drug War
Kids just doing them more and more
Billions of tax dollars snorted up D.E.A.’s nose
And we still be finding ways for our highs and lows

I declare I'll stand down
Look at my life, my country, my race with a frown
All this hate just needs to decrease
I’ll wave my white flag for The War On Peace

Oxymoron? The War On Terror!
Did the president think or just have an error?
All over two “twins” shot in the head
Only time will tell how many end up dead...
(Ha ha... Just remember what I said)

So history repeats itself again
Is this one war that society can win?
Maybe if we would all just decease
As a result of this War On Peace
