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]
