There’s war in the headlines, there’s war in the heads

Of the leaders who feed us till we’re overfed

We’re not hungry anymore for your diet of war

Malnutrition for the global poor

The people stood in breadlines

Are still paying for the landmines

Are being cursed for nothing worse

Than living on the pipelines

One war ends and the next one starts

The oil pipe dream leading straight to the heart

Of capitalism and market chains

Supplying the demand to feel less pain

The pacification is wearing thin

Global domination has its cost

When culture’s lost then no one wins

It’s no surprise when the bombs go off

This year’s war (3x)

This year’s…

War against terror like the war on crime

A war against anyone, anytime

The invisible enemy could be you

Now we live in a world of total strangers

Fear dictates till it’s who trusts who?

Everyone’s scared of their next door neighbour

This year’s war (3x)

This year’s…

War against terror like the war on crime

A war against anyone, anytime

People turn to terror when all else fails

The prison’s not full of rich white males

We’re more than scared of the men at the top

We’re talking to each other and we’re pissed off!

Pissed off with the thought it’s out of our hands

That innocent people in far-off lands

Will die for the greed or revenge of the few

Who say we have no choice in what we must do’

The empty reasons about defending

Freedoms are just never-ending

Strings of bluff to justify

Complete control over people’s lives

Or at least the global oil supply

And re-election when the polls roll by

A place in history when you die

This year’s war (7x)
