Someday historians will look back at our time
And say that World War 3 began in 1999,
Followed closely by World War 4,
And they will tell how some were brave
Just by going to the store
Where they lost their lives.
Some went off to battle at work,
Some attacked, sleeping, in their beds,
Some, shot in the head at country music fests.

And we can pray that they run out of bullets, I guess,
Or we could quit printing the money used to buy them,
But what's true rings always true,
The poor and the war we will always have with us.
