The War Starter Lyrics - Born Too Late - Saint Vitus

I have seen a thousand wars 

And I will see a thousand more 

I have heard the children cry 

And I have seen their bodies fry 

You know me, you've seen my face 

All around this wretched place 

You can call me warrior 

But I'm actually the war starter 

Long ago in days of old 

I gave you clubs then broadswords 

Now you use machinery 

New toys of war, new toys for me 

You've elected one of my 

Right-hand men to lead your kind 

After war saves your economy 

He'll soothe you with artificial peace 

Mushroom clouds, atomic fright 

Burning winds, your towns ignite 

I have taught you very well 

How to create your own Hell 

Blind mice follow their leaders 

No one wins, you've been beaten, it's the end of class 

Push your button and you 've passed
