Let Them Eat War Lyrics - The Empire Strikes First - Bad Religion

There's a prophet on a mountain and he's making up dinner 

With long division and writing crop 

Anybody can feel like a winner 

When it's served up piping hot 

But the people aren't looking for a handout 

They're America's working corps 

Can this be what they voted for? 

Let them eat war 

Let them eat war 

That's how to ration the poor 

Let them eat war 

Let them eat war 

There's an urgent need to feed 

Declining pride

From the force to the union shops 

The war economy is making new jobs 

But the people who benefit most 

Are breaking bread with their benevolent hosts 

Who never stole from the rich to give to the poor 

All they ever gave to them was a war 

And a foreign enemy to deplore 

Let them eat war 

Let them eat war 

That's how to ration the poor 

Let them eat war 

Let them eat war 

There's an urgent need to feed 

Declining pride

We've got to kill 'em and eat 'em before they reach for their checks 

Squeeze some blue collars, let them bleed from their necks 

Seize a few dollars from the people who sweat 

Cause it's freedom or death and they won't question it 

At a job site the boss is god like 

Conditioned workhorses park at a stoplight 

Seasoned vets with their feet in nets 

A stones throw away from a rock fight 

But not tonight, feed 'em death 

Here comes another ration (feed them death) 

Cause they're the finest in the nation (feed them death) 

When there's nothing left to feed them 

When it's freedom or it's death 

Let them eat war 

Let them eat war 

That's how to ration the poor 

Let them eat war 

Let them eat war 

There's an urgent need to feed
