lyrics

Diplomacy is not a word in our vocabulary
And neither is the word deescalate
As evidenced in NSC 68

It's an endless war
Oh baby, it's an endless war
Ah, children it's an endless war
Ah brother, it's an endless war
Yeah

And where's the call for a peace settlement in Ukraine?
Oh, no no we've got to drop more bombs
And send more money and more lethal aid
Just to save us from the Russian hordes
Just to save us from the great Chinese
And to the folks back home
Hey, sorry it's a bridge too far
And on TV just watch our endless war

Oh baby, it's an endless war
Ah, children it's an endless war
Ah, brother it's an endless war

(solo)

Oh my god, what the hell are we doing in Haiti yet again?
How many untold times have we invaded that poor country?
I can hear the hawks justify
I can hear the doves call for blood
And if you need the words look no further than Henry Kissinger
Who had expressed you must contain "these germs"
Control the people if you control the food
Control the oil, you control nations
The smaller the country, the more dangerous
They represent the threat of a good example
Executed by the White House
Implemented by the CIA
Mass-surveilled by the FBI
Championed by the New York Times
Congratulated in the Washington Post
Conceptualized by a policy think tank
And on TV just watch our endless wars

Oh baby, it's an endless war
Ah children, it's an endless war
Ah brother, it's an endless war
