The architects of war has spoken once again
We must defend democracy
It's time for payback to the once they call their friends
To please the weapon industries

And, and there you stand
Ready to die for freedom
Man, a simple man
Dyin' for shady reasons...

You follow orders, off you go to foreign shores
They call you to protect and serve
Licence to murder on the right side of the law
The country's set on red alert

Kill, kill or get killed
Nobody to hold on to
Hell, everyday hell
Torture and hate surround you

Why, die for a lie, die in a war
Dyin' for something not worth dyin' for
Why, die for a lie...

The war is won but still you fight on foreign fields
While everything around you dies

Cry, inside you cry
Mentally hurt and shattered
Dead, emotionally dead
Survival is all that matters

Why, die for a lie, die in a war
Dyin' for something not worth dyin' for
Why, die for a lie...

And when you're comin' home
You still hear the screamin'
You're sufferin' alone
You still feel the pain...

Why, die for a lie, die in a war
Dyin' for something not worth dyin' for
Why, die for a lie...

Why, die for a lie, die in a war
(War war war war war)
Why die for a lie...
