A war against a concept
in the name of self defense
It'll cost trillions of dollars
but it doesn't make a bit of sense
They tell us to be wary
of the crimes that terrorists commit
and they offer us a cure-all
loyalty to the government.
But we're all dying
Anyone who says
anything else
is lying
A war against substances
in the name of public health
But peek behind the curtain
and you'll see it's all about wealth
There's money in new prisons
there's profit in new drugs
A pill for every problem
ten million alcoholics shrug
But we're all dying
Anyone who says
anything else
is lying
A war against maturity
Fought with Botox and with creams
We've lost all sense of dignity
We've forgotten what it means
To grow old gracefully
with your head held up in pride
at the wisdom and contentment
that fills your heart with time.
But we're all dying
Anyone who says
anything else
is lying
A war against reality
superstition is our king
With our eyes squeezed shut to avoid the truth
that's plain for all to see
Our time on this planet
is shorter than a blink
and we've got no time for fantasy
the end is closer than you think
