Atrophy - Best Defence lyrics

[Music: Chris Lykins, James Gulotta] [Lyrics: Chris Lykins] Our land, our home, America the free Our vote decides the future can't you see Their sim to serve, and protect what is theirs Too much at stake to let others have their share The world is more than colors black and red Profit and gain mean little to those dead While you cut corners to maximize your gain Your lack of caring sends young men to their graves [Chorus:] Spend all our money on functionless weapons They never care what the cost I guess it's too bad it works only on paper It's our lives not theirs that are lost The truth is that we're powerless to change The joke that the pentagons became To win a war is the last thing on their mind Career advancement is the main thing you will find 500 million dollars every day Drains the resourses from projects such as AIDS Our poor go hungry in cities across the states Defense contractors steal the food right off their plates [Chorus:] [Solo: Rick] [Repeat 1st verse] [Repeat chorus] [Solo: Chris]
