Send Them Kids to War

I hear the rich man on television
Listening to men with ideals but no vision
Telling you to stop, sit back and listen
If you don't, you won't know what you're missing
Is there anything that small can do about war?
No towers of wealth for the marching freedom corps
We see these empires fall
That hurt like a kick in the balls
Mass men march and the question is when
A billion brothers multiplied by ten
What's your empire? Who's your big friend?
When the poor, the ones that boil, are they back for the end?
Companies know where to go to be seen
Walking for miles with the same old themes
Into a city owned by the same men
Who own the streets, media, lives, and when
What you gonna do when your arms unfold?
Busy standing, listening, and doing what you're told
Mind at work and your idolized goal
What you gonna do when alone?

Send them kids to war
To get a bullet in the head and tell them what they're living for
Just send them kids to war
And tell the parents that they died for a worthy cause
What are you fighting for?
Think you're fighting for a reason, not a kick in the balls?
Send them kids to war
Go send them kids to war

Oh, send them kids to war
Oh, send them kids to war
Go send your kids to war

So why you wanna turn a blind eye
When you hear and then see some politician's lie?
Look the other way and ignore life
Stick your body once you pay your tax to abide
So you say that death is the way to die
Pay for it by yourself and wave goodbye
They control every aspect of your life
So get your ass to the floor and don't ask why
Hey, battle rules that never make sense
You pay your own tax, be in the empire again
The professor tells you where you went, ask him when
Are we gonna wake up and see a fine den?
But you never really put the effort in
Ignorance is bliss, so you let these kids trend
But I'm sad that they got no friends
Look at that, their life is coming to an end
And for what? What are you dying for?
Government's sending you to die, their wars
Break this down, embrace those walls
What you be dying for?

Oh, send them kids to war
To get a bullet in the head and tell them what they're living for
Just send them kids to war
And tell the parents that they died for a worthy cause

What are you fighting for?
Think you're fighting for a reason, not a kick in the balls?
Send them kids to war
Go send them kids to war

Send them kids to war
Send them kids to war
Send them kids to war
Don't send your kids to war, send your kids to war
Send them kids to war
Don't send your kids to war, send your kids to war
Send them kids to war
But what are you fighting for? What are you fighting for?
Send them kids to war
Don't send your kids to war, send your kids to war
Send them kids to war (Send them kids to war, send them kids to war)
Send them kids to war (To get a bullet in the
Head and tell them what they're living for)
Send them kids to war (Don't send them
Kids to war, don't send your kids to war)
Send them kids to war
