"Firepower Kills" lyrics

Firepower kills

Fully automatic, precise schematic
A new breed of weaponry
Yes, we aspire to a higher rate of fire
Superior technology
Oh, I sweep the arc of bullets to the left
Then I fire to the right
With my hand pressed down on the trigger
And the enemy in my sight
I spray a wall of lead to the left
Then I fire to the right
The bodies drop in rows
Cut down like a scythe

Oh yes, the roar of battle has its thrills
But never, never forget
How firepower kills

If you thought we knew by now
How this is all a waste
In a government lab, the best, the brightest
Are locked in an arms race
Upon the modern battlefield
The war takes to the skies
And in the coming future days
Combat will be mechanized
Blast off at supersonic flight
Mach-10 like a guided drone
We'll build a brighter future
With the weapons of tomorrow

Oh yes, the prize of power has its thrills
But never, never forget
How firepower kills

Oh yes, the game of nations has its thrills
But never, never, never, never forget
Firepower kills
We will wipe away
All your earthly pain and sorrow
Yes we'll build a brighter future
With the weapons of tomorrow
We'll build a brighter future
With the weapons of tomorrow
We'll build a brighter future
With the weapons of tomorrow
We'll build a brighter future
With the weapons of tomorrow
And in a searing flash of white
The future looks so bright
