What the Stones Tell

lyrics

Its a story of solitude, awakening is rude,
a second world war from european attitude,
but it changed the face,
of the geopolitical landscape, and now its a race,

to arms dealers, sending feelers out to the third world,
the blanket of democracy has been unfurled,
protection from nato is a guarentee,
but now we're shareholders, in all of your industry,

interesting patterns emerge from the conflict,
the cesspit of capital gains are invested,
into the future of war and disease,
but the next generation will do as they please,

we're headed to the grimdark that is only war,
deplorable morals that abhor the poor,
but there's more of us, than the core of the upper class,
workers of the world unite, we might win at last


We play in the sand, like kids with their army men,
only difference here, is that the wars ain't pretend,
tomcats dropping bombs, B-29's above,
we get serious when push comes to shove,

show you love, in the form of a tomahawk,
dropping through the roof of hussein's palace in iraq,
lots of talk, about real politik,
but we're americans, don't you know our shit don't stink,

makes you think, dependence upon gasoline,
seems the fuel of the american dream,
I need a team, of like minded individuals,
for a think tank, otherwise we have habitual,

regression into a warlike state,
I'll debate the merits, but we cannot wait,
whats at stake? The future of our kin,
if we don't act now, then our story is fin


We start global wars over fossil fuels and docile feuds,
refuse to defuse, in the face of colossal news,
reuse, or a state of emergency,
a sense of urgency, as groups begin insurgency,

brother versus brother in a war over black gold,
we fight each other, every man, young or old,
it was foretold, but we didn't listen to the prophets,
had a perfect union, but with our greed, we have lost it,

tossed it, out the window with our sanity,
gassing population centers, ohh the humanity,
I'm proud to be, an american soldier?
An army of one, I kill children in cold blood,

and when we're done, its years of recovery,
solar and nuclear energy in synergy,
listen to me, cause this is a tale of caution,
the story I've told, simply cannot be an option
