Lyrics

$400 BILLION

If you?re the winner, why pay more
What?s it all for? You?ve won the war!
The power of $400 billion,
Believe me Bush, would thrill millions!
CHORUS: Suppress and squeeze
your human brother,
And you?ll be fucking
with something other!
Give a shit about everyone?s fate?
Say, aren?t you the big popentate?
U.S. and world humanity
What?s with your self-centered vanity?
CHORUS
Fuck defense, it?s in our best interest
Use the funds to silence the guns
Explosion ? destruction ? mayhem
Don?t you see what you?re saying?
CHORUS
Repeat 1st verse
CHORUS
