WAR FOR SALE
by Shadow Gallery


Time came to leave
You know there's something
About the principle of what goes on behind the scenes
The military machine
The way they led me on...

Stiletto in the sand
Thrusted down in anger
Bloody to the handle
Diamond red
Machines of mass destruction
Well I helped to design them
The guilt of children's blood stains on my hands

The word from the board room
Our boys in Tehran have scored

How long till we realize the truth?
The bottom line of defense and world security
The bankers and the ministry of arms
Just cut the deal and the war is on

The village burned the desert set ablaze
Who are these men with their finger's in everybody's pie?
Big rockets and their profiles all the rage
Their business plan calls for ware for sale

Please understand
Until I saw all this
I never thought about the third world trampled under wheels
Out in the streets and in the fields
I simply questioned it all...

Stiletto in the sand
Fingers on the triggers
Tempers boiling over
Bleed them red

Machines of mass destruction
Oh why did I design them?
The guilt of children's blood stains on my hands

Napalm and land mines
Nobody left alive

How long 'til we realize the truth?
The bottom line of defense and world security
the banker's and the ministry of arms
Just cut the deal and the war is on

The market screams a recommended buy
The contract's in don't just sit there get your broker on the line
Big money left their morals far behind
Guess what we've got - we got war for sale

1. LOL! I was thinking along the line of....

War for sale,
Pre-emptive holy war for sale,
War that's us against the woild,
War that's more than slightly soiled.

War for sale.

Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price,
To do the whole thing twice?

War for sale.

Let the liberals bitch of war,
In their childish way,
I know ev'ry type of war,
Better far than they.

If you want the thrill of war,
I've avoided time at war,
Old war, new war,
Ev'ry war but the 'Nam war.

War for sale,
Halliburton's ground war for sale,
If you want to buy my wares,
Follow me and climb the stairs.
War for sale,


War.......for sale.
