Before they set the world on fire by decree of the almighty profit Before the strike the match stick they pa**ed out big cigars They'll sell you a dream but it's all a lie They'll spend all your money on party supplies They'll act so sincere pretending to care They'll pump you with fear broadcast through the air I don't want to come to your war party A VIP ticket to a blood orgy Poisoned food no water to drink with the terror threat high Does it help to think that your government's in control? As the pawns all play their role And the dead begin coming home And the pawns have played their role Before they pull the d**h card it's champagne all around As smiling glad hands wave false flags Napalm Cyanide Burning bodies piled high Hiroshima Vietnam Jesus Christ Islam Cold War Communism Palestine Zionism Holocaust genocide ma** decay suicide Endless wars feed the machine Industrial complex an empire of greed If we can't find a profit in peace they'll continue to feed the beast It's 1, 2, 3 what're we fighting for? Don't ask me I don't give a damn Next stop might be Iran Ain't no time to wonder why Whoopee, we're all going to die As the pawns all play their role and the dead are coming home And the pawns have played their role and the dead are flying home Embrace no evil fear no enemy Send in the bulls to a blood orgy They'll sell you a dream but it's all a lie They'll spend all your money on party supplies They'll act so sincere pretending to care They'll pump you with fear broadcast through the air No one wants to come to your war party A VIP ticket to a blood orgy Poisoned food no water to drink with the terror threat high Does it help to think that your government's in control? As the pawns all play their role Now the dead begin coming home And the pawns have played their role I don't want to come to your war party
