Chance to Steal - War on Peace Lyrics

We seek to justify
The means by which we have contrived
To keep the world on its knees
This pie's not big enough
We don't wanna share
It's all for us
It's Manifest destiny

And so it goes
Nothing changes
That's how it ends
In a world deranged

The history of man is a history of war
All of our technological innovations come from the military
And only later do we find civilian applications
As our population grows and our resources become more precious
We need to veer from this road and learn to work together
Failure to do so will bring us to extinction

We aim to purify
Sacrifice all those who still defy
Wipe clean the minds of discontent
In robes of righteousness
We hide our murderous intent
It's too late to repent

Here it comes again
The war on peace
The war that never ends
It's social entropy
Dividing us
The bonds of tyranny, come from within
We fight so hard to win, that we don't see
It's not a competition

Your god's all wrong
You'll never learn
So we'll drop the bombs
Your land will burn
We've come so far
But nothing's changed
Where can we place the blame

Now I can see the end
If you're not with us then you're with them
We won't accept more complexity
God bless America
Land of the free
And without flaw
The victors write the history

Now it's back again
The war on peace, it never really went
Manufactured enemies
We armed ourselves
It's always been for wealth, can't you see
They profit handsomely, while we all die
We'll die for their beliefs

It's all just a lie
It was all along
An eye for an eye
The weak serve the strong
We've come so far
But nothing's changed
And we'll never face the blame
