lyrics

Some young men
We don’t treat them well
They get caught with reefer
And thrown into a cell
Cells are big money
To free us from our fear
And fear is a religion
Passed down through the years
We’re in love in a difficult world
We’re in love
Some people dig in
When innocent children die
They say God has chosen them
So in their blood they lie
Driven by money
We’re told we all need guns
To protect us from our fear
Of the ghosts in everyone
We’re in love in a difficult world
We’re in love
Some young men
We don’t treat them well
We sent them off to war
To blow the world to hell
War is big money
To free us from our fears
And war is a religion
Passed down through the years
