It's a bitter pill we all must swallow
When tyrants draw swords and we're forced to follow
Drone strike in the middle of the city
Sparks a series of events where innocent lives receive no pity
When John Galt starts rattling his sabre
Dollars become the benchmark and power over neighbours
Desert storms and false intelligence
Invented stories fuel wild belligerence
We've seen it before and unfortunately
We may see it again and again: war drums and soldiers marching to the beat
Plane crashes and civilians perish
Glossed over by megalomaniacs ordered war toys help them stay rich
Never accompany fools to destruction
Never join their team or heed their instructions
The path to hell is paved in gold
Its charms and passions unchecked
But remember: if you're never bought, you can never be sold
~ Gunnar Våken
