Peace Ain't Nothin’ but a Big Black Hole

by Richard Haxton

War is always good for bidness, isn’t it
Helping us with our fiscal fitness, isn’t it
The military industrial complex ain’t mean
When you’re too poor to eat you start to get lean
Keep saving it up for our favorite machine, pyramidin’ it

CEOs say — Don't let the war stop
Idle guns are the devil’s workshop
Every day let bombs burst in the air
To remind us our flag is still there

Now each day’s the Fourth of July, isn't it?
Just try to keep your paranoia dialed up super high

>

Foes come and go so keep your powder pure
With a war always on, you always feel secure
War will give you meaning, direction to your soul
Peace ain’t nothing but a big black hole

Boring as a graveyard
