Little People

When war is outlawed
We will change the words
To ensure we maintain our profit margins
To Keep the Bombs Bursting in Air
To Keep the blood money flowing
To Keep the violence normal

We’ll spend some of the money
We make off of you
And the little people who will die
To hire professional soldiers
to kill more people
to make more money
and maybe kill you

We will ignore the righteous officials
Elected to get in the way
Of our Plan for You
And the little people who will die
Anyway
We’re just making it easier for them
And it’s easier for us, now, too
