War Zone
I've been sent to the front.
Somebody told me they thought war is hell.
They must have cold feet, so please don't yell.
I'm sure it's shell shock, or some PTSD.
Not as hard as a rock, they're as soft as can be.
War zone Somalia gone up in flames.
Korea and Kuwait are burning for days.
France is invaded, England falls in waves.
All over the world, you got nothing to say.
War zone!
War zone!
Dear Mother Russia, tell me where to hide.
Colombia, Cuba, and Pakistan fried.
Poland overrun and China has died.
Germany burns in a new genocide.
War zone!
War zone!
Civilians are dying, tanks are sent flying.
Great cannons and battleships all explode.
Nuclear falling, survivors are bawling.
And the fat man with the button hits the motherload.
War zone America gone up in flames.
The U.A.E. and Jordan are burning for days.
Sweden's invaded, and Greece falls in waves.
All over the world, you got nothing to say.
War zone!
War zone!
Dearly beloved in Egypt they hide.
Venezuela, Brazil, and India fried.
Finland overrun and Portugal died.
Armenia burns in a new genocide.
War zone!
War zone!
It's all over the world!
War zone in Hungary gone up in flames.
Belize and Afghanistan burning for days.
Georgia invaded, Turkey falls in waves.
All over the world, the dying will pray.
War zone!
War zone!
Switzerland to Japan people hide.
Canada, Mexico, Argentina fried.
Madagascar and Mali and Austria died.
The whole Earth is burned in a new genocide.
War zone!
War zone!
It's all over the world!
War zone!
War zone!
War comes from another world!

This one's chorus is a pretty simple frame and I just threw in various different countries each time. Favorite line was the one about the fat man with a button.
