lyrics

Let me tell you 'bout a so-called "wise man",
Who in a week created earth and on the seventh day man
Gave him a brain to build weapons to kill & defend
Divided him by race and culture then the shit hit the fan

Hate & war, war and glory
Death and destruction adds spice to the story
And all the kings horses and all the kings men
Waged total war until the bitter end
'Cause one man shouted "Jihad" to take a stand
And as for the others, they all jumped on the band wagon

Death before dishonour, I heard 'em sing
When the body bags came home I heard the church bells ring
All the brave soldiers fought to the bitter end
But I never saw no one, rise from the dead my friend!

Heard one man shout "what are you fighting for?"
But his voice was drowned out by the sound of war
Those who led the armies had megaphones
And the masses heard and followed like good little ghouls
No one ever dared to question if it all made sense
They just continued paying taxes that got spent on new weapons

Death before dishonour, I heard 'em sing
When the body bags came home I heard the church bells ring
All the brave soldiers fought to the bitter end
But I never saw no one, rise from the dead my friend!

And on the 8th day all of the gods did unite
And just like their followers, got into a fight
Mohammed said to Jesus "you're a fucking fraud"
And Buddha got pissed and called Zeus a whore
They all just pointed fingers, 'till they turned blue and black
They got sick of pointing, and cut off each others hands
And that's the best the came up with,
Our beloved "wise men"
