Song of the War Hawks

We're geared to see the worst
Let the bombs burst!

This demands retaliation
Retribution!
We can't wait for a first strike.
Action without thought
Is the solution!
We can't wait for a first strike.


We have no sense of history
We lack perspective!
Our view of the world
Is quite subjective.

We'll put you or your child
First on the battleline.
But never us, never our's
On that we decline.


When the blood starts pumping
We want vengeance.
When the markets ain't jumping
We base war on contingence.

We are the war hawks
We are proud and loud.
We are the war hawks
We are men and women.
We are the war hawks
Give us your children.

We defy logic
We got the blood lust
We refute blame
We got the blood lust
We're demagogic
We got the blood lust
We have no shame
We got the blood lust.

We are the war hawks
We are proud and loud.
We are the war hawks
We are men and women.
We are the war hawks
Give us your children.

We are never wrong
Unless everyone is wrong.
Safety in the throng
Hear us sing along
"We were all wrong"
"We were all wrong."


We take no responsibility
We have no accountability
Just the suggestion
Lacks civility.
We take no responsibility
We have no accountability
In the populace
We expect docility.


Who will live and who will die
Is at our discretion.
Our facts come via
A long bull session.
If you dare to question
We will rule it agression.

We are the war hawks
We are proud and loud.
We are the war hawks
We are men and women.
We are the war hawks
Give us your children.
