Sacrifice Life and Limb, the Empire Must Win

SACRIFICE LIFE AND LIMB, THE EMPIRE MUST WIN

Two hundred thousand lives done in,
Eighty thousand limbs blown off to win,
Whatever it takes to do Russia in
They must sit in the top seat
So declared Washington Deceit,
All was written that none shall compete
With guns and bombs we’ll enforce our rule
By any means, and any tools
Torture, genocide, and lies too,
Insurrectionists, Nazis, and terrorists will do
Bodies die, Wall Street rises
No limit to lives capsized
Staying on top is the prize
Bullets fly as Wall Street rises


Danger ahead, danger ahead!


Bleed nuclear Russia dry is the US/NATO plot
Then fight nuclear China, to stay on top
Escalate, escalate, the US does not negotiate
Nor shut the door on nuclear war
The Pentagon Papers reveal what’s in store


Danger, extreme danger ahead!



Who pays for war to bleed Russia white?
School lunches now gone from sight
Ukraine is shipped bombs and guns to fight
No funds for health to US moms tonight
Only war is the way our “great leaders” say
Bodies must fall, workers' blood must flow
Greedy Wall Street’s eyes are all aglow
The US will not negotiate nor accept defeat
Nuclear bombs will make their rule complete


Take action people. Take action!


Our future uncertain with threat of destruction,
The engines of war must be put out of action
Demopublicans, Republicrats, a philosopher spoke,
Systems of profit and war must be broke
We can, we must stop all the gunships
Before we fall from those nuclear cliffs
Wall Street’s greed or humanity’s needs
It’s time to bring down deadly economies
One big strike against the war creators
Put down tools and turn off computers,
Our greatest strength, cannot be denied
We are the masters, in our very own eyes
Time to strike against the deadly warmaker
The people’s needs must be our true savior
