The rise and fall, the last great empire, the sound of the whole world caught on fire
The ruthless struggle, the desperate gamble
The game that left the whole world in shambles
The cheats, the lies, the alibis
And the foolish attempt to conquer the skies
Lost in space, and what is it worth, huh?
The president just forgot about Earth
Spending multi billions, and maybe even trillions
The cost of weapons ran into zillions
ThereÂ’s gold in the street, and diamonds under feet
And the children in Africa donÂ’t even eat
Flies on their faces, theyÂ’re living like mice
And the houses even make the ghetto look nice, Huh!
The water tastes funny, itÂ’s forever too sunny
And they work all month and donÂ’t make no money
A fight for power, a nuclear shower
And people shout out in the darkest hour
Of sights unseen and voices unheard
And finally the bomb gets the last word
Christians killed Muslims, and Germans killed Jews
And everybodyÂ’s bodies are used and abused, Huh!
Minds are poisoned and souls are polluted
Superiority complex is deep rooted
Leeches and liceÂ’s, and people got prices
Egomaniacs control the self-righteous
Nothing is sacred and nothing is pure
So the revelation of death is our cure
Hitler and Caesar, Custer and Reagan
Napoleon, Castro, Mussolini and Begin
Ghengis Khan and the Shah of Iran
Men spill the blood of the weaker man
The peoples in terror, the leaders made the error
And now they canÂ’t even look in the mirror
‘Cause we gotta suffer while things get rougher
And thatÂ’s the reason why we got to get tougher
To learn from the past and work for the future
