It doesn't take too long to grow old Right from the day that your sorry soul was sold Your name was there from naught years old On the dotted line You're lucky if you realize That you're trapped and institutionalized It's not just you that's victimized It's happened throughout time This planet is at war This planet is at war Forget about your perks and your insane works This planet is at war This planet is at war This planet is at war Your little luxuries will have you on your knees This planet is at war The IMF and the World Bank Think that your sorry life isn't worth a wa*k But really they have you to thank For voting in their drones They have the third world clapped in chains These neo-liberal super brains With warheads, tanks and bomber planes Their answer should you moan This planet is at war This planet is at war Forget about your perks and your insane works This planet is at war This planet is at war This planet is at war Your little luxuries will have you on your knees This planet is at war This is a dark hierarchy That needs victim dependency Thrives on all the apathy While money rapes the earth And if you find this world deranged And if you want to make it change There are lots of frightened people who feel the same Question is, how? Direct action is a real voice To free your imprisoned heart and rejoice When revolution seems the only sane choice With things as they are now And on the environmental front line The kids are fighting back come rain or shine Fighting to protect yours, theirs and mine The planet is at war This planet is at war This planet is at war Forget about your perks and your insane works This planet is at war This planet is at war This planet is at war Your little luxuries will have you on your knees This planet is at war
