Scales fall from my eyes I've been blind too long Shut myself off from the world While everything went wrong Earth groans beneath the weight Of a million war machines Preaching unrequited hate To win by any means With a heavy heart and a tarnished soul I stand in line to pay the toll A lesson in true lunacy A Scorched Earth Policy Do you only care for Me, myself and I? Are these the lies you whisper As another child dies? Earth groans beneath the weight Of a million war machines Preaching unrequited hate To win by any means With a heavy heart and a tarnished soul I stand in line to pay the toll A lesson in true lunacy A Scorched Earth Policy Your children do not know you They're programmed full of hate Mankind has learned nothing But another way to rape Yet still you go on k**ing Still you do pollute Still you teach your children That the self is absolute Earth groans beneath the weight Of a million war machines Preaching unrequited hate To win by any means With a heavy heart and a tarnished soul I stand in line to pay the toll A lesson in true lunacy A Scorched Earth Policy
