War Songtext
von Critical Mass

Marchers gathering today
To protest against the war
Is it rhetoric
Or is it worth all my respect?
Is it simply self defence?
Or should I stay here on the fence
Is this shedding blood
Really for the common good?

Now the dogs of war
Give an ominous, an ominous roar
Let′s even the score
See evil hit the floor
Time to crush you down
Grind you into dust
Is what I am doing just?
Or is it power that I lust?


Viscous acts that cut so deep
Innocent perish while they sleep
Walking every path
But all talks won't end the wrath
This crusade just cannot fail
I have to drive the final nail
Buried in the dirt
Cannot cause a greater hurt

Now the dogs of war
Give an ominous, an ominous roar
Let′s even the score
See evil hit the floor
Time to crush you down
Grind you into dust
Is what I am doing just?
Or is it power that I lust?

Do you see that (Adolf Hitler) Hitler's (Joseph Stalin) stalling
With sketchy ideology (Idi Amin)?
He's diving (Ivan the Terrible) in
But all I see is the kettle calling the pot (Pol Pot) black
Did you see Vlad (Vlad the Impaler) start mauling (Mao Tse Tung)?
How can (Kenghis Khan) he hunt (Attila the Hun) with no impunity
You know co-meanies (Khomeini) shares the blame
If you don′t hear or hit or (Emperor Hirohito) act


It′s easy to choose
When evil is clear
It's hindsight that sorts the truth from fear
Who is actually right
Not so black and white
Are you vigilant
Or getting militant

Now the dogs of war
Give an ominous, an ominous roar
Let′s even the score
See evil hit the floor
Time to crush you down
Grind you into dust
Is what I am doing just?
Or is it power that I (lust)?

Now the dogs of war
Give an ominous, an ominous roar
Let's even the score
See evil hit the floor
Time to crush you down
Grind you into dust
Is what I am doing just?
Or is it power that I lust
