War For Sale - Act I

Time came to leave
 You know there's something
 About the principle
 Of what goes on behind the scenes
 The military machine
 The way they led me on...
 Stiletto in the sand
 Thrusted down in anger
 Bloody to the handle
 Diamond red
 Machines of mass destruction
 Well I helped to design them
 The guilt of children's blood stains on my hands
 The word from the board room
 Our boys in Tehran have scored
 How long till we realize the truth?
 The bottom line of defense and world security
 The bankers and the ministry of arms
 Just cut the deal and the war is on
 The village burned the desert set ablaze
 Who are these men with their finger's in everybody's pie?
 Big rockets and their profiles all the rage
 Their business plan calls for ware for sale
 Please understand
 Until I saw all this
 I never thought about the third world trampled under wheels
 Out in the streets and in the fields
 I simply questioned it all...
 Stiletto in the sand
 Fingers on the triggers
 Tempers boiling over
 Bleed them red
 Machines of mass destruction
 Oh why did I design them?
 The guilt of children's blood stains on my hands
 Napalm and land mines
 Nobody left alive
 How long 'til we realize the truth?
 The bottom line of defense and world security
 the banker's and the ministry of arms
 Just cut the deal and the war is on
 The market screams a recommended buy
 The contract's in don't just sit there get your broker on the line
 Big money left their morals far behind
 Guess what we've got - we got war for sale
 How long 'til we realize the truth?
 The bottom line of defense and world security
 the banker's and the ministry of arms
 Just cut the deal and the war is on
 The village burned the desert set ablaze
 Who are these men with their finger's in everybody's pie?
 Then freedom's ring departed from today
 There's just no doubt - we got war for sale!
