The Burns Unit — Send Them Kids to War lyrics

Lyrics

I hear the whisper on the television
Listening to men with ideas but no vision
So I’m telling you to stop, sit back and listen
If you don’t you won’t know what you are missing
Is there anything the small can do about war?
No towers of wealth but a march for freedom call
When will we see these empires fall
Let it hurt like a kick in the balls
Now the masked men marching
The question is when?
A billion brothers multiplied by ten
Sucking vampires of your mente
What about the ones so poor
That they beg for the end to come
But there’s no where to go to be sent
Walking for miles and the same road bends
In to a city owned by the same men
Who own the streets, media, lives and rent
What you gonna do when your arms
Unfold busy standing listening
And doing what you’re told when your mind
Awake and your heart lying cold
What you gonna do when alone
Send them kids to war, to get a bullet
In the head and tell them what they’re living for
Just send them kids to war
And tell they parents that they died
For a worthy cause what are you fighting for?
Think you’re fightin for a reason
Not a kick in the balls and they
Go and send them kids to war
Go and send them kids to war
Go and send them kids to war
Go and send them kids to war
So why you wanna turn a blind eye
When you hear it and see dumb politicians lie
But you turn the other way and ignore lives
Taken by the ones you pay your tax to abide
Send your sons and daughters away to die
Paid for by yourselves and wave goodbye
They control every aspect of your life
So get your assets on the floor and don’t ask why
Play by the rules they never make sense
You pay your road tax, vat and pay again
Big brother has trapped you but you wanna ask
When are we gonna wake up see and find zen?
But you never really put the effort in
Ignorance is bliss so you let these kids fend for
Themselves like they’ve got no friends
Who give a shit that they life is coming to an end
And for what? What are you dying for?
The government sending you to fight their wars
You break this down and they bridge those walls
What are you dying for?
Send them kids to war, to get a bullet
In the head and tell them what they’re living for
Just send them kids to war
For a worthy cause what are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
Think you’re fightin for a reason
Not a kick in the balls
Send them kids to war
Go and send them kids to war
Send them kids to war
Send them kids to war
Send them kids to war
Go and send them kids to war
Send kids to war
Send them kids to war
Go and send them kids to war
Send kids to war
Send them kids to war
Now what are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
Send them kids to war
Go and send them kids to war
Send kids to war
Send them kids to war
Send them kids to war
Send them kids to war, to get a bullet
In the head and tell them what they’re living for
Send them kids to war
Send them kids to war
Go send them kids to war
Send them kids to war
