Profits of Pain and War
I will tell you that their wise,
and the facts that they analyze
They know...your situation
Their gonna tell you on what's gonna come,
and how certain things will be done
There your.... salvation
I'll tell you when that day comes,
you will learn how to load a gun
And they say... you got to be a man
You may not like it when they hand you a gun,
before you turn 21
Your just a number...with sorrow
These boys don't know what's in store,
these are the prophets of pain and war
There gonna... get you
Let me tell you when they make a big sound,
about getting out of Vietnam
You know you got a right... to your convictions
The world you won caused you mental pain,
when your plaque may be thrown away
Then they'll say...you have some restrictions
Your freedom bells stopped ringing,
and happiness is not what your singing
Your gun... proved to them that you can
Why don't let it be known,
that you have a mind of your own
And you can tell right from wrong,
as you play this song
Peace is nothing to the Prophets of War
and the facts that they analyze
They know...your situation
Their gonna tell you on what's gonna come,
and how certain things will be done
There your.... salvation
I'll tell you when that day comes,
you will learn how to load a gun
And they say... you got to be a man
You may not like it when they hand you a gun,
before you turn 21
Your just a number...with sorrow
These boys don't know what's in store,
these are the prophets of pain and war
There gonna... get you
Let me tell you when they make a big sound,
about getting out of Vietnam
You know you got a right... to your convictions
The world you won caused you mental pain,
when your plaque may be thrown away
Then they'll say...you have some restrictions
Your freedom bells stopped ringing,
and happiness is not what your singing
Your gun... proved to them that you can
Why don't let it be known,
that you have a mind of your own
And you can tell right from wrong,
as you play this song
Peace is nothing to the Prophets of War
