Industry Of War

War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing

Well that's the way it appears to me

But it's great for the economy

As we're building up this empire society

Well the media's profiting from the world trade towers tumbling

They're selling their primetime ads on this patriotic screen

They're selling inaccuras, their lies and propaganda

Rebroadcasting images from FOX, feed it to America through the idiot box

Said War, what is it good for?

Well it's great for big business and building up the system

Putting money in the pockets of the dirty politicians

Said its great for steel and lumbering and building up this economy

And allowing us to keep our obsessions

Bringing us out of this recession

It's great for plane and automakers

Dropping the bombs that keep us in danger

Violence is ripe this year, wouldn't it be great if we could market fear

We've got to clothe and house and feed and clean the military

We've got to give the housing to their workers and their families

War, is an industry

War, is part of the economy

War, aint about diplomacy

It's about our financial security

American builders with their contracts

Building up new homes that we're bombing in Iraq

We've got the moral-less weapon manufactures

Creating new disease and spreading the disasters

Swollen bellies hide behind the curtain

Filling up the tankers for Halliburton

The media propagating lies

Coming up with the new compromise

War, is an industry

War, is part of the economy

War, aint about diplomacy

It's about our financial security
