Let's Start A War

entry picture

Let's start a war
For no reason what on earth for
We are only acting in self defence
While the world sits on the fence
Let's start a war
It's inevitable you can't ignore
What on earth are we fighting for 
Let's start a war

Let's start a war
Change the headlines and more
If you want to bury bad news
And change people's point of view
Let's start a war
It will revive a failing economy
Complete control no more autonomy 
Let's start a war

Let's start a war
For world peace a necessary chore
Bombing and killing that's the solution
Free the people encourage revolution 
Let's start a war
There is gonna be some collateral damage
Maimed and dead children we can manage 
Let's start a war

Let's start a war
Our leaders speak out we implore
Their silence is a deafening roar 
The common man is just a pawn
On the global battlefield in the early dawn
Let's start a war
The day of judgement will be an encore
Let's start a war
