Sage Francis, Bad Religion - Let Them Eat War lyrics
[Sage Francis, Bad Religion - Let Them Eat War lyrics]
There's a prophet on a mountain
And he's makin' 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 lookin' for a handout
They're America's working corps
Can this be what they voted for?
Let them eat war (Ah, ah ah, ah)
Let them eat war
That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war (Ah, ah ah, ah)
Let them eat war
There's an urgent need to feed
Declining pride
From the force to the union shops
The war economy is makin' new jobs
But the people who benefit most
Are breakin' 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 (Ah, ah ah, ah)
Let them eat war
That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war (Ah, ah ah, ah)
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 godlike
Conditioned workhorses park at a stoplight
Seasoned vets with their feet in nets
A stone's throw away from a rock fight
But not tonight
(Feed 'em death) Here comes another ration
(Feed 'em death) 'Cause they're the
Finest in the nation
(Feed 'em death) But there's nothing
Left to feed 'em with
'Cause it's freedom, or it's death
Let them eat war (Ah, ah ah, ah)
Let them eat war
That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war (Ah, ah ah, ah)
Let them eat war
There's an urgent need to feed
And he's makin' 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 lookin' for a handout
They're America's working corps
Can this be what they voted for?
Let them eat war (Ah, ah ah, ah)
Let them eat war
That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war (Ah, ah ah, ah)
Let them eat war
There's an urgent need to feed
Declining pride
From the force to the union shops
The war economy is makin' new jobs
But the people who benefit most
Are breakin' 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 (Ah, ah ah, ah)
Let them eat war
That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war (Ah, ah ah, ah)
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

Seize a few dollars from the people who sweat

That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war (Ah, ah ah, ah)
Let them eat war
There's an urgent need to feed
