Theyâ??re 5 miles high as the crow flies
 Leavinâ?? vapour trails against a blood red sky
 Movinâ?? in from the east toward the west
 With balaclava helmets over their heads, yes!
 
 But if you think that jesus christ is coming
 Honey youâ??ve got another thing coming
 If he ever finds out whoâ??s hi-jacked his name
 Heâ??ll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
 
 Islam is rising
 The christians mobilising
 The world is on itâ??s elbows and knees
 Itâ??s forgotten the message and worships the creeds
 
 Itâ??s war, she cried, itâ??s war, she cried, this is war
 Drop your possessions, all you simple folk
 You will fight them on the beaches in your underclothes
 You will thank the good lord for raising the union jack
 Youâ??ll watch the ships out of harbour
 And the bodies come floating back
 
 If the real jesus christ were to stand up today
 Heâ??d be gunned down by the c.i.a.
 Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
 Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart
 But God didnâ??t build himself that throne
 God doesnâ??t live in israel or rome
 God belong to the yankee dollar
 God doesnâ??t plant the bombs for hezbollah
 God doesnâ??t even go to church
 And God wonâ??t send us down to allah to burn
 No, God will remind us what we already know
 That the human race is about to reap what itâ??s sown
 
 The world is on itâ??s elbows and knees
 Itâ??s forgotten the message and worships the creeds
 Armageddon days are here again

Onward, Christian Soldiers,
 Marching as to war,
 With the cross of Jesus,
 Going on before!
 
 Christ the royal Master,
 Leads against the foe;
 Forward into battle,
 See His banners go!
 
 Onward, Christian Soldiers,
 Marching as to war,
 With the cross of Jesus,
 Going on before!
 
 Like a might army
 Moves the Church of God!
 Brothers, we are treading
 Where the saints have trod!
 
 We are not divided,
 All one body we,
 One in hope and doctrine,
 One in charity!
 
 Onward, Christian Soldiers,
 Marching as to war,
 With the cross of Jesus,
 Going on before!
 
 Onward. then, ye people!
 Join our happy throng!
 Blend with ours your voices,
 In the triumph song!
 Glory laud and honour,
 Unto Christ the King,
 This through countless ages,
 Men and Angels sing.
 
 Onward, Christian Soldiers,
 Marching as to war,
 With the cross of Jesus,
 Going on before!
 Amen

Whoever we are
 Wherever we're from
 We shoulda noticed by now
 Our behavior is dumb
 And if our chances
 Expect to improve
 It's gonna take a lot more
 Than tryin' to remove
 The other race
 Or the other whatever
 From the face
 Of the planet altogether
 
 They call it THE EARTH
 Which is a dumb kinda name
 But they named it right
 'Cause we behave the same...
 We are dumb all over
 Dumb all over,
 Yes we are
 Dumb all over,
 Near 'n far
 Dumb all over,
 Black 'n white
 People, we is not wrapped tight
 
 Nurds on the left
 Nurds on the right
 Religous fanatics
 On the air every night
 Sayin' the Bible
 Tells the story
 Makes the details
 Sound real gory
 'Bout what to do
 If the geeks over there
 Don't believe in the book
 We got over here
 
 You can't run a race
 Without no feet
 'N pretty soon
 There won't be no street
 For dummies to jog on
 Or doggies to dog on
 Religous fanatics
 Can make it be all gone
 (I mean it won't blow up
 'N disappear
 It'll just look ugly
 For a thousand years...)
 
 You can't run a country
 By a book of religion
 Not by a heap
 Or a lump or a smidgeon
 Of foolish rules
 Of ancient date
 Designed to make
 You all feel great
 While you fold, spindle
 And mutilate
 Those unbelievers
 From a neighboring state
 
 TO ARMS! TO ARMS!
 Hooray! That's great
 Two legs ain't bad
 Unless there's a crate
 They ship the parts
 To mama in
 For souvenirs: two ears (Get Down!)
 Not his, not hers, (but what the hey?)
 The Good Book says:
 ("It gotta be that way!")
 But their book says:
 "REVENGE THE CRUSADES...
 With whips 'n chains
 'N hand grenades..."
 TWO ARMS? TWO ARMS?
 Have another and another
 Our God says:
 "There ain't no other!"
 Our God says
 "It's all okay!"
 Our God says
 "This is the way!"
 
 It says in the book:
 "Burn 'n destroy...
 'N repent, 'n redeem
 'N revenge, 'n deploy
 'N rumble thee forth
 To the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side
 'Cause they don't go for what's in the book
 'N that makes 'em BAD
 So verily we must choppeth them up
 And stompeth them down
 Or rent a nice French bomb
 To poof them out of existance
 While leaving their real estate just where we need it
 To use again
 For temples in which to praise OUR GOD
 ("Cause he can really take care of business!")
 
 And when his humble TV servant
 With humble white hair
 And humble glasses
 And a nice brown suit
 And maybe a blond wife who takes phone calls
 Tells us our God says
 It's okay to do this stuff
 Then we gotta do it,
 'Cause if we don't do it,
 We ain't gwine up to hebbin!
 (Depending on which book you're using at the
 time...Can't use theirs... it don't work
 ...it's all lies...Gotta use mine...)
 Ain't that right?
 That's what they say
 Every night...
 Every day...
 Hey, we can't really be dumb
 If we're just following God's Orders
 Hey, let's get serious...
 God knows what he's doin'
 He wrote this book here
 An' the book says:
 He made us all to be just like Him,"
 so...
 If we're dumb...
 Then God is dumb...
 (An' maybe even a little ugly on the side)

Fuck the Middle East
 By the Stormtroopers of Death
 
 Fuck the middle east
 There's too many problems
 They just get in the way
 We sure could live without them
 They hijack our planes
 They raise our oil prices
 We'll kill them all and have a ball
 And end their fuckin' crisis
 BEIRUT, LEBANON-Won't exist once we're done
 LIBYA, IRAN-We'll flush the bastards down the can
 SYRIANS and SHIITES-Crush their faces with our might
 Then Israel and Egypt can live in peace without these dicks

Thanks For Playing (With US) - Boole (http://www.boole.org)
 
 What do you say, how do you feel
 Is this illusion even real
 So many minds, gone in time
 So many eyes no longer shine
 Even the ones who gave a hand
 What kind of world, what kind of man
 Pillar of power, powder and dust
 Who do we turn to, who do we trust
 
 One day, you had your way
 You had your turn you had your say and
 Now its time for you to pay for
 Fucking with the USA
 
 What do you do now, where do you turn
 Soon you will free fall, soon you will burn
 Soon to be seeing your own blood
 Sunken forever in stone and mud
 Hope you had a good time killing wives
 Women and children under five
 Now that you've ran and took the dive
 How does it feel to be dead alive
 
 One day, you had your way
 You had your turn you had your say and
 Now its time for you to pay for
 Fucking with the USA
 
 Time for praying, time to hide
 Thanks for playing, now you die
 
 (Kill the killers, and only the killers.)

She dreams of nineteen sixty-nine
 Before the soldiers came
 The life was cheap on bread and wine
 And sharing meant no shame
 She is awakened by the screams
 Of rockets flying from nearby
 And scared she clings onto her dreams
 To beat the fear that she might die
 
 And who will have won
 When the soldiers have gone
 From the lebanon
 The lebanon
 
 Before he leaves the camp he stops
 He scans the world outside
 And where there used to be some shops
 Is where the snipers sometimes hide
 He left his home the week before
 He thought heâ??d be like the police
 But now he finds he is at war
 Werenâ??t we supposed to keep the peace
 
 And who will have won
 When the soldiers have gone
 From the lebanon
 The lebanon
 The lebanon
 From the lebanon
 
 I must be dreaming
 It canâ??t be true
 I must be dreaming
 It canâ??t be true
 
 And who will have won
 When the soldiers have gone?
 From the lebanon
 The lebanon
 The lebanon
 From the lebanon

There are colours on the street
 Red, white and blue
 People shufflin' their feet
 People sleepin' in their shoes
 But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
 There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
 Don't feel like Satan but I am to them
 So I try to forget it anyway I can
 
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 
 I see a girl in the night
 With a baby in her hand
 Under an old street light
 Near a garbage can
 Now she puts the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
 She hates her life and what she's done to it
 That's one more kid that will never go to school
 Never get to fall in love never get to be cool
 
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 
 We got a thousand points of light
 For the homeless man
 We got a kinder gentler machine gun hand
 
 We got department stores and toilet paper
 Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
 Got a man of the people says keep hope alive
 Got fuel to burn got roads to drive
 
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 Keep on rockin' in the free world

Family Law Theme Song Lyrics
 Title: "War"
 Written By: "Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong"
 Performed By: "Edwin Starr"
 
 War. huh! Yeah!
 What is it good for?
 Absolutely nothin'! Uh huh uh hu-uh.
 
 War. huh! Yeah!
 What is it good for?
 Absolutely nothin'! Say it again y'all.
 
 War. huh! Look out!
 What is it good for?
 Absolutely nothin'! Listen to me.
 
 Ahhh war.
 I despise, cause it means destruction of innocent life.
 War means tears to thousands of mothers' eyes,
 when their sons go off to fight and lose their lives.
 
 I said, war. huh! Good God y'all.
 What is it good for?
 Absolutely nothin'! Say it again.
 
 War. huh! Whoa whoa whoa Lord.
 What is it good for?
 Absolutely nothin'! Listen to me.
 
 War.
 It ain't nothin' but a heart breaker.
 War.
 Friend only, to the undertaker.
 
 Ahhh war.
 is an enemy to all mankind.
 The thought of war blows my mind.
 War has caused unrest within the younger generation.
 Induction, then destruction. Who wants to die?
 
 Ahhh war. huh! Good God y'all.
 What is it good for?
 Absolutely nothin'! Say it, say it, say it.
 
 War. huh! Uh huh yeah, huh!
 What is it good for?
 Absolutely nothin'! Listen to me.
 
 War.
 It ain't nothin' but a heart breaker.
 War.
 Its got one friend, that's the undertaker.
 
 Ahhh war.
 has shattered, many a young man's dreams.
 Made him disabled, bitter and mean.
 Life is but too short and precious,
 it's been fighting wars each day.
 War can't give life, it can only take it away.
 
 Ahhh war. huh! Good God y'all.
 What is it good for?
 Absolutely nothin'! Say it again.
 
 War. huh! Whoa whoa whoa Lord.
 What is it good for?
 Absolutely nothin'! Listen to me.
 
 War.
 It ain't nothin' but a heart breaker.
 War.
 Friend only, to the undertaker.
 
 wooo
 
 Peace, love and understanding, tell me
 Is there no place for them today?
 They say we must fight, to keep our freedom,
 but Lord knows there's got to be a better way.
 
 Ahhh war. huh! Good God y'all.
 What is it good for?
 You tell 'em. nothin'! Say it, say it, say it, say it.
 
 War. huh! Good God now, huh!
 What is it good for?
 Stand up and shout it. nothin'!

6 o'clock in the morning and I'm the last person in this
 plane still awake.
 Y'know I can almost smell the blood washing against the shores
 of this land that can't forget its past.
 Oh the wind that carries this plane is the wind of change,
 heaven sent, and hell bent.
 Over the mountain tops we go, just like all the other G.I. Joes
 Ee-ai-ee-ai Adios!
 
 This is your captain calling â?? with an urgent warning
 We're above the Gulf of Arabia â?? our altitude is falling
 And I can't keep her up â?? there's no time for thinking
 All hands on deck â?? this bird is sinking
 
 Across the beaches & cranes, rivers & trains,
 all the money I've made â?? bodies I've maimed.
 Time was, when I seemed to know, just like any other G.I. Joe
 Should I cry like a baby or die like a man
 While all the planet's little wars start joining hands,
 Oh what a heaven â?? what a hell â??
 Y'know there's nothing can be done in the whole wide world
 
 I don't know what's wrong or right.
 I'm just a regular guy, with bottled-up insides.
 I ain't never been to church, or believed in Jesus Christ â??
 But I'm praying that God's with you, when you die.
