war is an endless circle
Out there it's the real thing,
with sweat and blood and cries,
but over here, we're just keeping score,
hoping there'll be no ties.

Out there, the ones still left
alive are hoping it'll end,
but over here, the kills are fun
with kids playin' pretend.

It's a never-ending circle-
the lifting up of shooting down
as we ignore the bloody hands
and give the best killers a crown.
