We fall to our knees raise our hands toward the sky Bow to the powerful without asking why We fill our glass with false sense of pride The ruling class has forced us all to demand what they supply So welcome to our new war The rich sell their lies to the poor We're dying but we don't know what for So welcome to our new war In a troubled time, in an age of fear We place our trust in the insincere As the waiting mind are misinformed The ones in charge are just adding to the score Well, the war profiteers watch as their numbers rise Their private contracts push profits through the sky The rest will struggle just to survive While special interest goes to those with the highest dollar sign The highest dollar sign, yeah So welcome to our new war The rich sell their lies to the poor We're dying but we don't know what for So welcome to our new war So welcome to our new war Welcome to our new war This is the price that we pay for living with our eyes closed And backs against the wall at the top of the hill Where the powerful thrive There's a strong disregard for this human life When the winds start to change and the meek crowd the floor And the sirens will sound and at last they will scream No more, last they will scream no more No more, no more, no more, no more, no The power elite wears the thickest disguise Setting the rules as the classes divide They keep their heartless eyes on the prize Then leave the masses with a lifetime of poverty and crime So welcome to our new war The rich sell their lies to the poor We're dying but we don't know what for So welcome to our new war So welcome to our new war The rich sell their lies to the poor We're dying but we don't know what for So welcome to our new war To our new war, war
