Lyrics (Fixed 🔨) 

War isn't murder
good men don't die 
children don't starve 
and all the women
survive 

War isn’t murder 
that’s what they say 
when you're fighting the devil 
murder's okay

War isn’t murder 
they're called casualties 
there ain't a veteran 
with a good night sleep

Let's talk about dead people 
I mean a dead people 
the dead don't feel honor 
they don't feel that brave 
they don't feel avenged 
they're lucky if they got graves
 
Call your dead mother 
ask her when she died 
it's a deathly silence 
on the other line 

the dead don't talk
but their children don't forget 
so in 20 short years 
you could live to regret that

War isn't murder 
there's money at stake 
hell even Kushner agrees 
it's got a real estate 

War isn't murder ask Netanyahu 
he's got a song for that 
he's got a bomb for you 

War isn't murder 
it's an old desert faith 
it's a nation state sanctioned 
righteous hate 

Let's talk about dead people 
I mean a dead people 

War isn't murder 
it's the Vengeance of God 
if you can't see the bodies 
they don't bloat when they rot
and the Flies don't swarm 
and the children don't cry 
If war isn’t  murder
good men don't die 

so in a short 20 years 
when you vacation the strip
try not to think about the
dead and have a nice trip 

War isn't murder 
let's all give thanks 
I saw it all in a movie 
give it up for Tom Hanks 

War isn't murder 
they don't ship out the poor 
and the bullets they fire 
ain't part of the cure 

War isn't murder land is a right 
but the banks called dibs 
it's something you can't fight

Let's talk about dead people 
I mean a dead people 
the dead don't feel honor 
they don't feel that brave 
they don't feel Avenged 
they're lucky if they got Graves 

call your dead mother 
ask her when she died 
it's a deathly silence 
on the other line

the dead don't talk
but the children don’t forget 
so in 20 short years 
you could live to regret that
