It doesn't take too long to grow old
Right from the day that your sorry soul was sold
Your name was there from naught years old
On the dotted line
You're lucky if you realize
That you're trapped and institutionalized
It's not just you that's victimized
It's happened throughout time
This planet is at war
This planet is at war
Forget about your perks and your insane works
This planet is at war
This planet is at war
This planet is at war
Your little luxuries will have you on your knees
This planet is at war
The IMF and the World Bank
Think that your sorry life isn't worth a wank
But really they have you to thank
For voting in their drones
They have the third world clapped in chains
These neo-liberal super brains
With warheads, tanks and bomber planes
Their answer should you moan
This planet is at war
This planet is at war
Forget about your perks and your insane works
This planet is at war
This planet is at war
This planet is at war
Your little luxuries will have you on your knees
This planet is at war
This is a dark hierarchy
That needs victim dependency
Thrives on all the apathy
While money rapes the earth
And if you find this world deranged
And if you want to make it change
There are lots of frightened people who feel the same
Question is, how?
Direct action is a real voice
To free your imprisoned heart and rejoice
When revolution seems the only sane choice
With things as they are now
And on the environmental front line
The kids are fighting back come rain or shine
Fighting to protect yours, theirs and mine
The planet is at war
This planet is at war
This planet is at war
Forget about your perks and your insane works
This planet is at war
This planet is at war
This planet is at war
Your little luxuries will have you on your knees
This planet is at war
