Weapons of Mass Distraction ft. Razurwulf [Blackline Audio]

“Stay tuned, for BREAKING news!” At eight o’clock, a decorated man Draws circles on a screen Warns us of forces gathering Bigger than they'd ever seen He sells aggression as defense And cries "We must fight back!!" But long before the broadcast aired We’d already launched the first attack We'll watch all the missiles soar As the whole world is standing still Fly the flag and sing the anthem Watch fake news become very real Weapons of mass distraction Cover up mass extraction They wave flags over caskets But never take the blame Call the killing liberation Rebrand theft as foreign aid Weapons of mass distraction They make a killing either way I don’t know, but I’ve been told (I don’t know, but I’ve been told) Freedom’s bought with stolen gold (Freedom’s bought with stolen gold) Before they ever name the threat (Before they ever name the threat) War powers are granted and targets set (War powers are granted and targets set) Sell the bullet, sell the bandage Sell the bricks to build it back Every crater breeds a contract Every corpse becomes a stat They get paid to break and fix it Either way, they cash a check And when they claim the war is won They’ll just move on to the next Trace the money through the wreckage Past the speeches, past the graves Underneath their liberation There’s a pipeline being laid Weapons of mass distraction Cover up mass extraction Brave men lie in caskets Pawns of these war games Call the killing liberation Rebrand theft as foreign aid Weapons of mass distraction They make a killing either way One mother gets a folded flag Another claws through a bombed-out home Neither chose the battlefield But they'll bear the cost alone One lost her son in uniform One lost a child asleep in bed Tell me what was liberated Now that both of them are dead WHO SOLD THE THREAT? WHO BOUGHT THE LAND? WHO SIGNED THE CONTRACT BEFORE THE WAR BEGAN? Weapons of mass distraction Cover up mass extraction They wave flags over caskets But never hang their heads in shame Call the killing liberation Rebrand theft as foreign aid Weapons of mass distraction They make a killing either way “This just in, folks... YES, it would appear... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, ladies and gentlemen!” “Yeah... ’cause we got what WE came for.”
