Let's start a war

Let's start a war

What the hell do you think all these new bombs are for?

I'm feeling generous today

And I'm itching to make a charity donation

There are some orphan bombs who only want to do their jobs

And need a place to detonate

Let's start a war

And give a home to these explosions

Let's start a war

I could say that I'm not smashing piggy banks for all this killing

But I'll just turn away and bathe in the stream

of shopping bags and half-price tags and giveaways

We hold the purse, we hold the reins

We can deny these spoiled kids their next allowance

When they start shoving 'round like bullies on the playground

We shake our pockets for more change

Let's start a war

'Cause I'm a sucker for a good fight

Let's start a war

Will we say that we're not buying any toys for naughty children

No we'll just turn away and pass the buck off

to the governments who kill off all the dissidents

And let our culpability dissolve out in the acid rain

So everyone grab your nuclear brush

And your palette of industrial sludge

And paint a sunrise so dark it will never return

Please stop acting like this comes from somebody else

'Cause we've commissioned this painting ourselves

So just sit back and relax and scatter limbs like Picasso, spatter blood like Pollack

Art critics are standing by

To declare this a wonderful sight

Lock and load all your checkbooks we'll fill this gallery

It's such a classic tapestry

Full of weapons and violence and need

We will hang it in the finest museums of history
