Time to escape the barless cage
Time to grow up and act our rage
War without end fought in our names
States and corporations, all the same
When the time comes round to get your vote
That junk mail reads like a ransom note
All we are saying
Is peace never had a chance
All we are saying
Is peace never had a chance
It's not that they don't understand
Peace was never in the plans
Of leaders with their heads in the Alberta sands
After all the bombs that he has spent
Peace still eludes the President
Power has a will, it makes a choice
So filter out the sociopathic noise
And as Orwell spins, the news head speaks
Trotting out the Hitler Of The Week
All we are saying
Is peace never had a chance
All we are saying
Is peace never had a chance
It's not that they don't understand
Peace was never in the plans
Of leaders with their heads in the Alberta sands
