E
I done Syria, Afganistan, Iraq and Iran
E
North Korea tell me where does it end
E
Well the bodies keep piling up with every day
E
How many more of em they gonna send
E
Well they send their sons and daughters off to die for some war
E
To control the heroin
E
Well son I hope you don't grow up believing that you've
E
Got to be a puppet to be a man
E
Well they cut off your hair and put a badge on your arm
E
Strip you of your identity
E
Tell you to keep your mouth shut boy and get in the line, meet your maker overseas
E
Wearing that Kim Jong-il hat while your grandma's selling pills stat
E
Meanwhile, I'm wearing my 'can't pay my f**king bills' hat"
E
Nobody's looking up to care about the drones
E
we're all too busy looking down at our phones
E
Our ego's begging for food like a dog from our feed, refreshing obsessively until our eyes start to bleed
E
Serve up distractions and we eat em with fries until the bombs fall outta our f**kin sky
E
Turn off the TV, turn off the news
E
Aint nothing to see here, they're serving the blues
E
Bulls**t on my TV, bulls**t on my radio
E
Hollywood telling me how to be me, the bulls**t's got to go
