As the knights in sandy camouflage go charging off to war
I sit here watching TV like I did the night before
And when Im sick of watching propaganda choke my soul
I find a new reality with my remote control
Our leaders seem to live within a fifties TV show
Its a different world we live in now, but to hear them who would know?
The talking heads apon the screen predict the whole worlds fate
Some say peace and some say war, I hope its not too late
Chorus: Its annihilation without representation
Alone were powerless to stop the war
But maybe together, leaning on each other
Well build a world with peace for everyone
Well I vote whenever possible but it doesnt seem to work
The hill is crowned with bureaucrats and our leaders still a jerk
So I vote with my TV set and each weeks Nielsen score
But all the TV shows combined with never stop the war
Repeat Chorus
So now weve got another war, Im dreading what well see
As thousands die so we can drive our fat ass SUVs
And when our friends in victory come home sick from the war,
Well wonder what this syndrome is, like we aint seen it before
And nobody will talk about the children that we slay.
Well treat it like a summer flick, Schwarzenegger in a Green Beret.
I always thought Thou shalt not kill was the rule in Christianity,
So why are we selling war like a new product on TV?
Its annihilation without representation
Alone were powerless to stop the war
But maybe together, leaning on each other
Well build a world with peace for everyone
