WAR

Lyrics

Chorus

The killing in Gaza is money

Blood turned to gold in their hands

The killing in Gaza is money

War profiteers across the land

Post-Chorus

Money, money, money, money

Blood money, blood money

Verse 2

Defense contractors celebrate

As stock prices climb and soar

Politicians count donations

While children lie on the floor

Weapons shipped across oceans

Manufactured death and pain

Media sells the story

And we're all complicit again

Pre-Chorus

When human lives become numbers

And suffering becomes a trade

How many more must perish

Before this deal is unmade?

Chorus

The killing in Gaza is money

Blood turned to gold in their hands

The killing in Gaza is money

War profiteers across the land

Post-Chorus

Money, money, money, money

Blood money, blood money[Bridge]

Behind closed doors they calculate

The profit margins of despair

While mothers search through rubble

For children who were once there

The weapons have their barcodes

Each missile has its price

How many lives per dollar?

Cold equations, sacrifice

Verse 3

History repeats in cycles

Of violence we could end

If we'd follow money's trail

And refuse to pretend

That this is for security

Or peace or liberty

When corporations' bottom lines

Are bathed in tragedy

Chorus

The killing in Gaza is money

Blood turned to gold in their hands

The killing in Gaza is money

War profiteers across the land

Outro

The cost of silence rising

As we watch from far away

Our tax dollars funding nightmares

While we dream another day

Money, money, blood money[End]
