(perpetual war for perpetual peace)

Show me the way to...
(I forgot, who's our enemy now?)
...to the next despot's life
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

Show me the way to...
(profit from tyranny)
...keep our boarders safe
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

Show me the way to...
(divvy up the spoils)
...propagate democracy
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

For if we don't find a way to...
(perpetuate war)
...preserve our way of life
I tell you we will die
I tell you we will die
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we will die
