War is all the Rage

Attacked by the enemy.
Slaughtered by the enemy.
United by the enemy,
We're at war with the enemy.

All the missles flying,
All the people dying,
All the fam'lies crying.
War is all the rage.

A nation united,
A nation in hatred,
A nation never sated.
A nation still at war.

All the missles flying,
All the people dying,
All the fam'lies crying.
War is all the rage.

War is good for business.
War is good for policy.
War is good for mortuaries.
But war isn't good for me.

All the missles flying,
All the people dying,
All the fam'lies crying.
War is all the rage.

Angela Patton, September 15, 2001.
