The oil flows red
Oozing the soldier life force
Committed for commercial gain

Blood money spews
From empty coffers
Filling coffins abundant
To rebuild what was destroyed

While the lies multiply
To disguise the purpose
And Jingoistic rants
Proliferate over and again

Willfully raising expectations
When there are none
