An Eye for an Eye

An eye for an eye,
biblical
but what happens...  
when you take a million eyes and everyone is blind
- All are guilty and none are guilty,
the sins of one offset the sins of the other,
all have claim so none have claim
- War exists to feed the rich,
stop playing this hateful game  
- Look into my eyes and tell me I'm blind
... and I will laugh  
seeing far more than you,
I see your anger and need for revenge,
seeing how you are being used  
and I see we are all getting played
- What interest rate do bankers charge for the tools of war,
always collecting their pound of flesh
- Zombies in three piece suits,  
feeding on our pain and suffering  
- Enough is enough and I won't play again,
stay home the next time they decide to have a war,
I'll bring the beer if you fire up the barbie
- Let's have a party  
that doesn't include death and destruction
