The Puppet Masters
Read this at your own peril
Don?t expect to have your fill
Of virtue and charity
As I thrust and parry
Once when the US didn?t like your story
They sent in the CIA and you?re history
I sometimes wonder if war
Is not a necessity so far
We are growing at such a high rate
Some of the weight has to dissipate
But maybe some pray for wars
To heal their commercial scars
What would happen if we put a stop
Called a war and no one showed up
A lot of ammo in warehouses would sit idle
The gunsmiths would go loco as they twiddle
So we need wars to lessen the population
We?re so overcrowded in many a nation
What I can?t understand
In every man?s land
Why wait and take a fire stick in the night
To see what?s happening in broad daylight
The signs are always written
From Kossovo to Britain
As they preach from their pulpits
Some say nothing but tit-bits
Yet we wait as destruction comes
Then we pretend to be chums
We get on our very high horse
And ride into oblivion of course
Or until we?re threatened again
Then for sure we?ll go insane
The world can save itself a lot of grief
If we take just a strainer or a sieve
And shake out the big bad apples as we sift
Send them canoeing over Niagara Falls to drift
Or simply let the bloody natives kill
Themselves until our blood run chill
Then we go and rebuild with our green backs
And wait, then pull the strings for other attacks
What would?ve happened if the UN in time
Went in after the live he-devils of crime
They would have saved us from a lot of sin
By Taking out Hitler, Saddam or Idi Amin.
