Industry Of War

War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing
Well that's the way it appears to me
But it's great for the economy
As we're building up this empire society
Well the media's profiting from the world trade towers tumbling
They're selling their primetime ads on this patriotic screen
They're selling inaccuras, their lies and propaganda
Rebroadcasting images from FOX, feed it to America through the idiot box
Said War, what is it good for?

Well it's great for big business and building up the system
Putting money in the pockets of the dirty politicians
Said its great for steel and lumbering and building up this economy
And allowing us to keep our obsessions
Bringing us out of this recession

It's great for plane and automakers
Dropping the bombs that keep us in danger
Violence is ripe this year, wouldn't it be great if we could market fear
We've got to clothe and house and feed and clean the military
We've got to give the housing to their workers and their families

War, is an industry
War, is part of the economy
War, aint about diplomacy
It's about our financial security

American builders with their contracts
Building up new homes that we're bombing in Iraq
We've got the moral-less weapon manufactures
Creating new disease and spreading the disasters
Swollen bellies hide behind the curtain
Filling up the tankers for Halliburton
The media propagating lies
Coming up with the new compromise

War, is an industry
War, is part of the economy
War, aint about diplomacy
It's about our financial security
