Let's Have A War

A Perfect Circle · eMOTIVe [2004]

There's so many opposites,

So many opposites,

So many, there's so many, there's so many

Let's have a war,

So you can go and die,

Let's have a war,

We could all use the money,

Let's have a war,

We need the space,

Let's have a war,

Clean out this place

It already started in the city,

Suburbia will be just as easy

Let's have a war,

Jack up the Dow Jones,

Let's have a war,

It can start in New Jersey,

Let's have a war,

Blame it on the middle-class,

Let's have a war,

We're like rats in a cage

It already started in the city,

Suburbia will be just as easy

Let's have a war,

Sell the rights to the networks,

Let's have a war,

Let our wallets get fat like last time,

Let's have a war,

Give guns to the queers,

Let's have a war,

The enemy's within

It already started in the city,

Suburbia will be just as easy
