I posted this in GD but thought I would post it here, too. On this Labor Day, it just seems appropriate.
These lyrics are from the band, Bad Religion.
"Let Them Eat War"
there's a prophet on a mountain and he's making up dinner with long division and a riding crop anybody can feel like a winner when it's served up piping hot
but the people aren't looking for a handout they're America's working corps can this be what they voted for?
let them eat war that's how to ration the poor let them eat war
there's an urgent need to feed declining pride
from the force to the union shops the war economy is making new jobs but the people who benefit most are breaking bread with their benevolent hosts
who never stole from the rich to give to the poor all they ever gave to them was a war and a foreign enemy to deplore
let them eat war that's how to ration the poor let them eat war
there's an urgent need to feed declining pride
we've got to kill 'em and eat 'em before they reach for their checks squeeze some blue collars let them bleed from their necks seize a few dollars from the people who sweat cause it's freedom or debt and they won't question it at a job site the boss is god like conditioned workhorses park at a stoplight seasoned vets with their feet in nets a stones throw away from a rock fight but not tonight, feed ‘em death
here comes another ration (feed them death) cause they're the finest in the nation (feed them death) when there's nothing left to feed them when it's freedom or it's death
let them eat war that's how to ration the poor let them eat war
there's an urgent need to feed

2. This is one of my all-time favorite songs. |
|
I listened to it practically non-stop during the '04 election season. :D

4. Really, really good album |
|
That was definitely my favorite track, although Empire Strikes First was pretty good as well.

There's people out there that say I'm no good, 'Cause I don't believe the things that I should, And when the final conflict comes, I'll be so sorry I did wrong, And hope and pray that our lord god will think I'm good.
Countries manufacture bombs and guns To kill your brother for something that he hasn't even done. Smog is ruining my lungs, but they aren't sorry they've done wrong, They hide behind their lies that they're helping everyone.
In the end the good will go to heaven up above, The bad will perish in the depths of hell. How can hell be any worse when life alone is such a curse?
Fuck Armageddon, this is hell
We're living in the denoument of the battle's gripping awe, So what's the use of being good to satisfy them all?
How could hell be any worse? Life alone is such a curse! Fuck Armageddon, this is hell
