Pinkerton Thugs - The Coldest War lyrics

rate me

People say it's peace time

We're looking towards the sun

We're destroying tanks and bombs

no more threatening Red scum

The Arabs? They've been silenced and the oils running free

So don't worry about your future they've made it safe for you and me

But can you fill up your car and turn up your heat

knowing the tank is filled with the blood of a terror democracy?

How about the puppets we put in power in South America?

To make sure we'd have no problems

threatening neighbors are such a bother

International corporations can not come and reap the harvest

If the people are in power they'll realize just why they're starving

There's a war going on in your town

It's right outside your door

It's a war against the black man

And a war against the poor

Welfare? HA! What a fucking laugh

It's government candy it's poverty's crack

For some there's no such thing as peace

Economic wars have gone on for centuries

The police are an army

An army built for you

And the CIA and FBI

Don't have to follow rules

Filter drugs down from the heavens and guns ablaze tonight

You only feed into their hands when you kill of your own kind

Well there's a weapon they have that's more cruel than the bomb

Becuase you die off very slowly thinking you create the harm

It's a weapon called welfare and it's something many want

And they're willing to give it our because it keeps you in the dark

Why kill you? You're a bother but no one will stand for that

When they can put you in a ghetto style concentration camp

What better way to keep a list of everyone that's poor

Than to set up a program that keeps you coming back for more

Oh to live inside of your world must be such a fucking dream

not to worry day to day about your fellow human beings

IF YOU NEED A CANE TO WALK YOU'D GET NOWHERE WITHOUT IT

IF YOU NEED A GOVERNMENT TO LIVE THEY'VE GOT YOU WHERE THEY WANT YOU
