Ever since Saddam was captured
I’ve been thinking about this war
With no weapons of mass destruction
What the hell are we fighting for?
I ain’t seen nothing like this
Anyplace at all
This war on terrorism
Sure damn beats it all
They said “45 minutes
and he could have us dead”
If I had believed them
You should be examine my head
Can’t find weapons of mass destruction
Even after Saddam’s fall
This war on terrorism
Sure damn beats it all
It’s all smoke and mirrors
they say ignorance is bliss
Smoke and mirrors
How’d they talk us into this?
Why did we let them fool us?
What makes them so right?
Why did we keep our mouth’s shut
Why did we let 'em fight?
Don’t tell me I’d talk different
If we’d been the target
Ever since the 1970s
Britain has been hit
From Warrington to Brighton
the British blown to bits
Where’d the money come from
for the IRA to hit?
I thought I was the smoke and mirrors king
But I just handed my bullshit crown to him
When peace talks are tabled
He says he knows what’s best
You can talk about peace
but he won’t let war rest
He’s got crazy war advisors
They won’t see him fall
This war on terrorism
Sure damn beats it all
This war on terrorism..
I’ve been thinking about this war
With no weapons of mass destruction
What the hell are we fighting for?
I ain’t seen nothing like this
Anyplace at all
This war on terrorism
Sure damn beats it all
They said “45 minutes
and he could have us dead”
If I had believed them
You should be examine my head
Can’t find weapons of mass destruction
Even after Saddam’s fall
This war on terrorism
Sure damn beats it all
It’s all smoke and mirrors
they say ignorance is bliss
Smoke and mirrors
How’d they talk us into this?
Why did we let them fool us?
What makes them so right?
Why did we keep our mouth’s shut
Why did we let 'em fight?
Don’t tell me I’d talk different
If we’d been the target
Ever since the 1970s

From Warrington to Brighton

Where’d the money come from

I thought I was the smoke and mirrors king
But I just handed my bullshit crown to him
When peace talks are tabled

You can talk about peace
but he won’t let war rest
He’s got crazy war advisors
They won’t see him fall
This war on terrorism
Sure damn beats it all
This war on terrorism..
