As It Was, as It Soon Shall Be

We didn’t pay attention to lessons learned in the past Soon the sands in the desert will melt from the atomic blast Mesopotamia’s ground zero for the coming of world war Thousands die in the sand And I still don’t understand what for Chorus: As it was, as it soon shall be We’re teetering on the brink of a world war III A repetition of history as you soon shall see As it was, as it soon shall be Solo: Gary War mongering leader of ours waves the flag of democracy Sending our men out to die in the name of bureaucracy The oil fields of Iraq are overflowing with blood Another man dies but the lies rain down like a flood Chorus Solo: Lee No weapons of mass destruction no threat to me Just one man’s agenda for war, not a land of the free I never gave a shit about the Middle East But now we lie in the bed that we’ve made, start the atomic feast Chorus
