lyrics

Masters of Intervention

Masters of intervention
Don't even mention
The profits they want to make
They just keep raising the stakes
They tell us they believe in democracy,
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

Well I don't feel happy when you destroy the earth
Kill children, or mothers about to give birth
I don't feel happy about the billions you make
Selling weapons to whoever will take them
I don't feel happy with tanks on the roads
Or planes taking off with their deadly loads

Masters of deception
Tell us we don't understand
They've got it all worked out
They've got a plan.

Well I don't want you to control the rest
Of the world to do what you think best
Your notion of liberty leaves the rest of the world in poverty
I don't like your tariffs and your free trade agreements
As you grab resources from every continent
I don't want you playing with your new war toys
Strutting around being bully boys
You say you'll get rid of weapons of mass destruction
But it's different in your own land -
That's terrorist prevention...

Masters of destruction
Say the wars they wage are just
It's always the other side
That's in the wrong.
But who gets killed in all these wars?
Who is dying for whose cause?
Your violent ideology
Makes human rights a mockery
The latest drone technology
Kills from a distance - shockingly
When murder's by remote control
It doesn't make it moral

We've seen it all before we know
War doesn't take us where we want to go

Dedicated to all victims of Western 'regime change'
