The Military​-​Industrial Complex of the Heart

from Empires by Wen Reagan

/

lyrics

The fear-mongers give a sign
but where can we draw the line
between danger and our lives
I don't know what to believe
with all the wolves in sheepskin that deceive
swapping cross for empire
We trade your love for our fear
we worship in the name of securities
but how can we demonize
when the enemy bought our hearts
Culture war ringing in my ears
drowns out the death on the inside
crooked fingers giving crooked lies
How can we define them this way
so afraid of what they are
It's the same flesh and blood
We trade your love for our fear
we worship in the name of securities
but how can we demonize
when the enemy bought our hearts
Our fear it powers industry
give to hate required energy
feeds the politicians
and the pulpit preachers who polarize
consumption in terms of morality
fear runs our conscience's economy
We trade your love for our fear
we worship in the name of securities
but how can we demonize
when the enemy bought our hearts
