Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes
Yeah!
Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pig's crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
Oh lord yeah!
Just like witches at black masses

Face it, America--yes, you--WE are the war pigs of the world.
No one remotely comes close to us on spending on war, missiles, weapons, etc. We outspend all other nations by huge margins.
It's us who are in Afghanistan, against most of the people's will.
It's the US who has 50,000 troops still occupying Iraq.
It's the US who has over 700 different military installations across the world.
Sure, we used to be the peacekeepers.
No more.
Now we're the ones threatening too much and too many across this same planet.
While we can't spend for our children's schools and health care and streets, sewers, highways, bridges and other infrastructure, we're spending huge, absurd, ridiculous amounts on war and weapons of war.
First you need to know this. We all need to be aware.
And then we need to demand change. Change from our government. Change from our legislators.
Surely this is not the people or country we want to be.
What say we really honor our military and veterans and stop the endless war?
Happy Memorial Day.
Indeed.
