Lyrics

A RECIPE FOR WAR

Combine two opposing opinions.
Season with antagonism until reaching bitterness.
Beat in a measure of defensiveness coated with pride.
Add a number of threats and strain
Simmer this mixture until poignant.

What ya cookin' there?
A recipe for war.
Want to have a taste?
War!

Prepare a bunch of tender young men.
Trim their ideas and remove their desires.
Grind until their hatred becomes wrath.
Garnish them with arms and shot.
Serve with the acrid sauce above.

What ya cookin' there?
A recipe for war.
Want to have a taste?
War!

Cut into pieces a wholesome territory.
Flatten and crush its culture, its people.
Spread with domination these slices of land.
Heap on a mixture of control and authority.
And top with a dictator.

What ya cookin' there?
A recipe for war.
Want to have a taste?
War!
