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
