Where the poor kill and die to make the rich even richer
Let the oilfields burn
If the profit wasn't there they'd abort the mission

They'll ship you off, you should run in another direction
They need you, you're a low cost form of protection
I won't go anywhere for war

And so the beat goes on
While we drown in the blood of the unfortunate ones
I'll never march along
I refuse to move my feet to a murderous song

They'll send you off in a spotlight holding a weapon
Wasted youth, made believe it's the best decision
Don't go anywhere for war but a cemetery, everybody gets buried

We could have an election
But I'm afraid it won't do any good
We got to push, start pushing the buttons
Or Mr. Push won't pull any weight

We could have an election
But I'm afraid it won't do any good
We got to push, start pushing the buttons
Or Mr. Push won't pull any weight

Pull any weight
Pull any weight

They need you
They need you
They need you

Don't go anywhere for war but a cemetery
I won't go anywhere for war, but a cemetery
Don't go anywhere for war but a cemetery
Everybody got to bury

We could have an election
But I'm afraid it won't do any good
We got to push, start pushing the buttons
Or Mr. Push won't pull any weight

We could have an election
But I'm afraid it won't do any good
We got to push, start pushing the buttons
Or Mr. Push won't pull any weight
Pull any weight

Where the poor kill and die to make the rich even richer
Let the oilfields burn
