Breeding War Machines

Sssshhh come closer child do dare

I have to whisper in your ear

Don't believe anything you see

Or anything you hear

They're trying to hypnotize me

As well as you dear

They put it everywhere we be

All over here and there

Trying to alter what we see

And then tell us that they care

Don't be fooled by this

It's very plain to see

The growing manipulation

Of media and tv

They're breeding war machines

Teaching people how to be mean

Telling us we have the right

To forget our compassion

And learn how to fight

Little girls being forced to have sex

By little boys who believe

Their bodies are objects

But the little girls think this is true too

Because their parents never taught them anything new

So she gets pregnant and her life is through

She has to have it

Cuz abortions a no no

According to those who believe it's ok

To breed war machines in this day and age

So she has her baby and lives on welfare

The daddies are juvy cuz he tried to cut her

Her mama goes to church trying to hide her embarrassment

Her papa can't get over his disappointment

This is what the leaders want to accomplish

Get them while they're young and dumb and easy to brainwash

So they'll have their babies and live in poverty

With no help from anyone who cares to see

Mama and baby have a chance to succeed

This way when the baby hits 18

He'll have no other choice

But to join the military

And go to war to fight for our country

Why are they doing this?

I can't see good reason

They're trying to convince us

It's due to the season

To bully everyone around

And get their way

Invade other countries just for play

To show the world there big strong muscles

And have every scared into buying the hustle

Pretty soon they'll tell us it's all in God's will

And Jesus would have wanted us to fight and to kill

Don't buy it!

Jesus said "turn the other cheek"

"The earth will be inherited by the meek"

"Love thy enemy"

"Forgive 70x70"

Those who believe in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

You are correct that is the truth

But I'm sure Jah meant for him to decide when our karma

Will come back by and poke us in the eye for the eye we hide.

I pray there'll come a day

When soldiers won't pass away

It's ok to disobey direct orders anyway

But fight for their right to unite

Despite the hype and media spotlight

When I forgave it all became clear

Exactly how to live without fear

It doesn't matter who wins in the end

Cuz armageddon

Is just an illusion
