Let's start a war Let's start a war What the hell do you think all these new bombs are for? I'm feeling generous today And I'm itching to make a charity donation There are some orphan bombs who only want to do their jobs And need a place to detonate Let's start a war And give a home to these explosions Let's start a war I could say that I'm not smashing piggy banks for all this killing But I'll just turn away and bathe in the stream of shopping bags and half-price tags and giveaways We hold the purse, we hold the reins We can deny these spoiled kids their next allowance When they start shoving 'round like bullies on the playground We shake our pockets for more change Let's start a war 'Cause I'm a sucker for a good fight Let's start a war SongtexteWill we say that we're not buying any toys for naughty children No we'll just turn away and pass the buck off to the governments who kill off all the dissidents And let our culpability dissolve out in the acid rain So everyone grab your nuclear brush And your palette of industrial sludge And paint a sunrise so dark it will never return Please stop acting like this comes from somebody else 'Cause we've commissioned this painting ourselves So just sit back and relax and scatter limbs like Picasso, spatter blood like Pollack Art critics are standing by To declare this a wonderful sight Lock and load all your checkbooks we'll fill this gallery It's such a classic tapestry Full of weapons and violence and need We will hang it in the finest museums of history Aus Songtexte Mania
