[Intro | low drone | slow heavy breakbeat | warped sample | deep spoken]
One man gives the order
A little girl hears the blast
He'll never know her name
The man who sells the bombs just laughs

[Verse 1 | deep menacing half-spoken, building | grinding bassline]
A mother holds a body
That used to be her son
She did not start the argument
She did not fire the gun
She did not draw the border
She did not pick the fight
But she will dig the grave alone
And fill it in tonight

[Chorus | shouted hardcore | hammer | dub echo]
Our suffering is funny
To the men who make the money
The merchants of war
Get fat on our dead
And they just laugh
Laugh
LAUGH

[Verse 2 | deep menacing half-spoken, building | grinding bassline]
A father walks the rubble
Where the market used to stand
He did not sign the contract
He did not make the plan
A stranger sold the missile
A stranger made the kill
A stranger pockets millions
And the father pays the bill

[Chorus | shouted hardcore | hammer | dub echo]
Our suffering is funny
To the men who make the money
The merchants of war
Get fat on our dead
And they just laugh
Laugh
LAUGH

[Bridge | bass drops then slams back | shouted | warped]
They make a profit
We pay in blood
They make a killing
Graves in the mud
We carry our dead
Our dead
Our dead
And they laugh

[Verse 3 | deep menacing half-spoken, building to climax | grinding bassline]
They will never let it finish
'Cause the dying pays so well
They will sell the war as freedom
And they'll never count the shells
So remember when they tell you
That a war was somehow just
There's a man who made a fortune
And a child who turned to dust

[Chorus | shouted hardcore | hammer | dub echo | doubled]
Our suffering is funny
To the men who make the money
The merchants of war
Get fat on our dead
And they just laugh
Laugh
LAUGH

[Outro | low drone | breakbeat fades | warped static | building to full shout]
Evil men made a fortune
Our children in the ground
And while we bury all we love
They just laugh
They laugh
They LAUGH
[static cuts out]

[End]
