Spend money on weapons that protect our interests
Kill innocent people, all in the name of progress
No hate is needed to justify a government's concern
Fear of retaliation stifles us all at every turn
Can I play in their power games or simply construct a wall
Choices I never want to make so why care at all?
We move on blindly placing no value on life that's been lost
Risk and accepting death is part of the cost
We ignore the others pain to devour our hate
Unaffected by a child's death is a warped mental state
Can I play in their power games or simply construct a wall
Choices I never want to make so why care at all?
We defend our borders, as no man may truly roam free
Potential terrorists are anyone who's not like you and me
Take up arms against your brother just to show you're might
Die in ignorance and be replaced on that very same night
Is my growing rage futile because I'm just a hapless pawn
Will I feel different tomorrow when my eyes open at dawn
Do I participate in their power games or simply construct a wall
Choices I never want to make, so why should I even care at all?
