lyrics

He's got a desk job like nobody else,
His paycheck comes from making someone else's hell,
But the screams and the cries,
Will never be loud enough to cover up the big mans life

But what is he still doing there?
Does his multi-numbered paycheck cause him not to care,
With no fear or demise,
He says he fights for freedom and will do so 'till the day he dies,

He goes home, hugs his kids, and kisses his wife,
Daddy's home, it's the setting of the average life,
But will the children ever learn,
That the kids that daddy's killing are always gonna be left to burn,

But what is he still doing there?
Does the colour of the victims help him not to care?
With no fear or demise,
He says he fights for freedom and will do so 'till the day he dies,

The kids next-door of the enemies have paid the price,
One wrong gamble has the family feeling cold as ice,
Technology that we've been dreaming of,
Is finally here and used to kill from high above,
Honest, I think it's such a shame,
That there's children who are dying who are not to blame,
With more examples of hypocrisy,
The bomb is dropping at the count of 1, 2, 3
