with sickening guile you're trying to sell

the ideal of a controlled war

accurate, unquestionable laser strikes and robot drones

viewed from above, monochromed a human life in pixel form

zero the crosshair and press return

that pixel cluster moves no more

are these the hero soldiers of the new age

remote-directed carnage from a thousand miles way?

no effort spared so that your lives may be saved

but with total indifference to the countless you take

from cowardly safety rain down your death

when you kill from afar your bravery's forfeit

time and again your nature revealed

cringing from danger unable to deal

with the risks inherent in the killing you crave

in the rage that you worship, in the wars you must wage

12 megatons, 200,000 dead, fast forward to today

and a pattern still unchanged

subverting all that's learned, twisting our every gain

yearn forever murder, a better killing dream

there are no laws for chaos

no controlled murderous spree

just animals in human skins

just death and hate and fear
