Hormuz Bill

Verse 1

Twenty five billion on the screen

But the real bill remains unseen

Brown University knows the math

Calculated numbers leave a bloody path

Hormuz water blocked up tight

Fertilizer prices soaring in the night

Grandpas out there working fields

Starving just to see what combat yields

The administration wants it all

Waiting for the common man to fall

Pre-Chorus

They want eighty seven billion more

To pay for an imaginary war

Eighty seven billion for the shells

Buying us a ticket into hells

Chorus

Washington don't want no peace

They just want the checking to increase

They don't want no peace

They just want the checking to increase

They lie

They lie

They lie

Public says no but they don't care

Post-Chorus

Look at the numbers

Look at the numbers

Numbers

Numbers

Verse 2

Twenty one billion just for lead

Profit margin stacking on the dead

Farmers get a little piece of scraps

To keep them from the mental collapse

Eleven billion to the plow

While they kill the cattle and the cow

Cenk says the theater is set

Lobbyists are collecting every bet

Congress put on a little show

Then they vote to let the money flow

Pre-Chorus

They want eighty seven billion more

To pay for an imaginary war

Eighty seven billion for the shells

Buying us a ticket into hells

Chorus

Washington don't want no peace

They just want the checking to increase

They don't want no peace

They just want the checking to increase

They lie

They lie

They lie

Public says no but they don't care

Post-Chorus

Numbers keep climbing

Numbers keep climbing

Higher

Higher

Bridge

Hundred billion gone to smoke

Life is turning into one big joke

One grand extra at the pump

Feeding every interest at the jump

Money for the missiles not the men

Doing it again and again

And again

Chorus

Washington don't want no peace

They just want the checking to increase

They don't want no peace

They just want the checking to increase

They lie

They lie

They lie

Public says no but they don't care
