Form Adolf Hitler back to Genghis Khan, we've always danced to the same old song,
We like to sing about a holy war; it's economics that we're fighting for,
Since time began, it's always been in season to kill somebody for political reasons,
Tell you they're right, they tell you they're Red so they can try to justify the dead,
They teach you all the steps then dance you off to death, and you can hear it on the hi-fi.

War dance, war dance,
It's a sick romance, whoa, whoa,
War dance, war dance,
It's a sick romance, whoa, whoa.

It's easier when you're the superpower to conduct the destiny of the smaller,
Finance the terrorists, and the corporations too,
Orchestrate elections, stage a coup,
So find out, before you waltz to war, just what you foxtrot in the foxhole for,
Is it freedom fighting? Is it foreign aid?
Or are you paying for those lives with the balance of trade?
They teach you all the steps then dance you off to death, and you can hear it on the hi-fi.

War dance, war dance,
It's a sick romance, whoa, whoa,
War dance, war dance,
It's a sick romance, whoa, whoa.

War dance,
War dance,
War.

War dance, war dance,
It's a sick romance, whoa, whoa,
War dance, war dance,
It's a sick romance, whoa, whoa,
War dance, war dance,
It's a sick romance, whoa, whoa,
War dance, war dance,
It's a sick romance, whoa, whoa.
