Wa-a-ar is a man-y splen-dored thing!

                For those whose miss-les ride the skies, how their coff-ers ring!

                All their gree-dy stone hearts beat with joy that they can live like kings!

                Yes, wa-a-ar is a wea-pons-ma-ker’s spring!

 

                Wa-a-ar is a one per-cen-ter thing.

                It is one of the tools they use to get fools to do their bi-id-ing.

                They di-vert us so that we can’t se-e-e how they’re rob-bing you and me!

                Yes, wa-a-ar is a one-per-cen-ter’s dream!

 

                Wa-a-ar is an ideal marketing scheme.

                It is perfect for marketing the-e-e  top U. S. indus-tr-e-e.

                Weapons ma-kers all a-cross these la-ands greed-ily clap their hands!

                Yes, wa-a-ar is a wea-pons sell-ing scheme!

 

                Wa-a-ar is a ne-ver end-ing thing.

                If there’s no war now, the C I A some-how brings one in-to be-ing.

                Pro-fits from sales to each side(slight pause)  no skin off our own hide!

                Yes, wa-a-ar is a ne-ver end-ing thing!

 

                Wa-a-ar is a ver-y hand-y thing.

                When a new wea-po-on needs a test run, war is just the thing.

                The kill-ing and maim-ing are far a-way that our me-dia won’t por-tray!

1 person >   THAT’S why…. (slight pause)

 

very slow &  deliberate >    WA-A-AR IS A MA-A-ANY SPLE-E-EN-DO-O-ORED THI-I-ING!
