[Intro: Audio Samples]


[Charles Lewis, CPI:]

"[...] at least 71 companies

That we were able to identify

Are starting to get contracts

To go in in Afghanistan and Iraq"

[Male Pundit #1:] "Halliburton rose to profit

On the backs of American workers"

[Martin Smith, PBS:] "An audit [...] alleges

KBR charged $88 million

For meals they never served"

[Ron Paul:] "Loss of civil liberties

Corporations running the show

Big government in bed with big business"

(Hey!)

[Male Pundit #2:] "[...] who was made rich

By contracts flowing from

The Iraq invasion and occupation"

(Hey! Hey!)

[Lewis:] "All of the top-10 companies

Had former U.S. officials

Who had worked in the Pentagon

Or other parts of the U.S. government"

(Hey! Hey!)

[Al Gore:] "[...] and what certainly appears to be

An ongoing effort to hide the facts" (Hey!)

[Lewis:] "[...] and people cash in all the time..."


[Verse 1]

Been watching for a long time

Seeing the world join forces

To the edge of calamity

How many of the wars have started over

Mankind's opiate we call religion?

Too many of our children have died

In the never-ending fight for territory


[Pre-Chorus]

Are we born to violence?

Can we stop in time?


[Chorus]

They say you will want to remain on your side

You'll be starting a war now if you cross that line

Turn around or face my reprisal

For I have determined that this is mine


[Interlude: Audio Samples]


[Male Pundit #3:]

"If a person were going to manipulate

The marketplace and to create, in essence

A collapse and a calamity

This could have as great an impact

As any type of bomb that would ever be set off"

(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

"Economic terrorism" (Hey!)

"Economic terrorism" (Hey!)

"Could affect the entire world..." (Hey!)


[Verse 2]

Been hurting for a long time

Feeling my heart torn open

From the lack of humanity

Insanity on both sides

Reaping the path that guarantees

Our own extinction

Hate added to the stockpile

Filling the world with enemies, a constant battle


[Pre-Chorus]

In the face of violence

They omit their pride


[Chorus]

They say you will want to remain on your side

You'll be starting a war now if you cross that line

Turn around or face my reprisal

For I have determined that this is mine


[Bridge]

Oh... Oh...


[Interlude: Audio Samples]


[Male Narrator:]

"For millennia, Jerusalem's Temple Mount

Has been at the forefront

Of the battle of the great monotheistic religions


[Male Pundit #4:]

"You're hearing some heated emotions

On both sides of the argument here, but I mean

How do you make peace

If you don't want to talk to your enemy?"


[Male Pundit #5:]

"There is no question that war

Is a profit-making business"


[Female Pundit:]

"Staking a claim to the land"

"Claim to the land"


[Male Narrator:]

"And once again today

Passions are threatening to spill over

Into bloodshed"


[Chorus]

You will want to remain on your side

You'll be starting a war now if you cross that line

Turn around or face my reprisal

For I have determined that this is mine


[Outro]

We will not be broken this time

We will force the whole world to testify

Stand your ground or face our reprisal

For we have determined that this is...
