Cause We're Fighting

"Games Faces!"

cause we’re fighting a war

that no one’s gonna win

bums on benches in the trenches

cause it’s about to all begin

cause we're fighting a war

to make and keep Oil.&co rich and fat

we’re gonna pay with the cream of our youth

but you can’t say nothing about that

cause we’re fighting a war

and everyone’s gonna lose

sacrifice a nation's young

no one gets to choose

cause we’re fighting a war

and it’s pretty much been that way

since the end of dubya dubya two

from then and right up to today

cause we’re fighting a war

to cover all the double dealing

friendly fire here and there

does an awful lot of concealing

cause we’re fighting a war

to keep the sheep nervous and scared

sharing anxious time bomb whispers

and rumours when allowed and dared

cause we’re fighting a war

there will be casualties’ we won’t lie

you have to do this for your country

(pointing) you and you and you…will die!
