| 作词 : Holt | |
| We didn’t pay attention | |
| to lessons learned in the past | |
| Soon the sands in the desert | |
| will melt from the atomic blast | |
| Mesopotamia’s ground zero | |
| for the coming of world war | |
| Thousands die in the sand | |
| And I still don’t understand what for | |
| [Chorus:] | |
| As it was, as it soon shall be | |
| We’re teetering on the brink | |
| of a world war III | |
| A repetition of history | |
| as you soon shall see | |
| As it was, as it soon shall be | |
| [Solo: Gary] | |
| War mongering leader of ours | |
| waves the flag of democracy | |
| Sending our men out to die | |
| in the name of bureaucracy | |
| The oil fields of Iraq | |
| are overflowing with blood | |
| Another man dies but the lies | |
| rain down like a flood | |
| [Chorus] | |
| [Solo: Lee] | |
| No weapons of mass destruction | |
| no threat to me | |
| Just one man’s agenda for war, | |
| not a land of the free | |
| I never gave a shit | |
| about the Middle East | |
| But now we lie in the bed that we’ve | |
| made, start the atomic feast | |
| [Chorus] |
