The War Industry
Abismo Cavado e Medicado
The bomb fell, the market rose
Arms stocks profits that didn't vanish
Broadcast live in high definition
War as a product consumption of destruction
Child in the rubble: Breaking news at nine
We watch change the channel and it doesn't rain
Crocodile tears, solidarity hashtag
Tomorrow another conflict, same superficiality
Sartre said, we are responsible for the world
Not just for ourselves, but for the deepest essence
Of all humanity, which acts through us
But it's easier to stay silent than to speak up
War industry gdp on the rise
Peace is a loss conflict is the solution
We sell the missiles, we sell the bandages
We profit from the dead, we profit from the survivors
The general speaks in a suit and tie
The trenches belong to others he snatches the medal
Geopolitics of blood a chessboard of territories
The pawns don't choose they're just the corpses
Fanon shouted: The colonized bear the burden
Sartre wrote the preface and the world read it without access
To the true meaning of what was written there
That the oppressor's violence breeds what came after
There is no just war
There is lucrative war
There is no free peace
There is peace too expensive to sell
While they debate the cause
The missile has already been launched
While they pray for the victim
The contract has already been signed
War industry gdp on the rise
Peace is a loss conflict is the solution
I reject the product, I reject the role
Of a passive spectator in this paper circus
End of transmission
The conflict continues
