At least 71 companies
That we were able to identify
Are starting to get contracts
To go in in Afghanistan and Iraq'
On the backs of American workers'
KBR charged $88 million
For meals they never served'
Corporations running the show
Big government in bed with big business'
By contracts flowing from
The Iraq invasion and occupation'
Had former U.S. officials
Who had worked in the Pentagon
Or other parts of the U.S. government'
An ongoing effort to hide the facts'
Verse 1
Been watching for a long time
Seeing the world join forces
To the edge of calamity
How many of the wars have started over
Mankind's opiate we call religion?
Too many of our children have died
In the never-ending fight for territory
Chorus 1
Are we born to violence?
Can we stop in time?
They say you will want to remain on your side
You'll be starting a war now if you cross that line
Turn around or face my reprisal

The marketplace and to create, in essence
A collapse and a calamity
This could have as great an impact
As any type of bomb that would ever be set off'

Been hurting for a long time
Feeling my heart torn open
From the lack of humanity
Insanity on both sides

Chorus 2
In the face of violence
They omit their pride
They say you will want to remain on your side
You'll be starting a war now if you cross that line
Turn around or face my reprisal
For I have determined that this is mine
'For millennia, Jerusalem's Temple Mount
Has been at the forefront
Of the battle of the great monotheistic religions
'You're hearing some heated emotions
On both sides of the argument here, but I mean
How do you make peace
If you don't want to talk to your enemy?'
'There is no question that war
Is a profit-making business'
'Staking a claim to the land'
'Claim to the land'
'And once again today
Passions are threatening to spill over
Into bloodshed'
Chorus 3
You will want to remain on your side
You'll be starting a war now if you cross that line
Turn around or face my reprisal
For I have determined that this is mine
Outro
We will not be broken this time
We will force the whole world to testify
Stand your ground or face our reprisal
For we have determined that this is
