1. Kill for gain or shoot to maim, but we don’t need a reason,
Am
the
golden goose is on the loose and never out of season.
Am
Blackened pride still burns
inside, this shell of bloody treason,
Am
here’s
my gun for a barrel of fun, for the love of living death.

2. The blind men shout “Let the creatures out,
we’ll
show the unbelievers.”
Am
The napalm screams of human
flames
of a
prime time Belsen feast, yeah.
Am
As the reasons for the carnage
cut their meat and lick the gravy,
Am
we
oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.

3. The body bags and little rags of children torn in two,
Am
and
the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you.
Am
As the madmen play on words
and make us all dance to their song,
Am
to
the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.
