With no one left to testify
You haven't got a case
Bodies are piled high
On streets that reek of human waste
Get out of your bunker
And sign up for conscription
Nationalism is
A terrible affliction
Salute the trained killers as they walk by
Our best and brightest sent away to die
Brainwashed by their institutions
Trampling the constitution
Dehumanize the enemy
Channel all your hate
Show no mercy
(War is the health of the state)
Dehumanize the enemy
Channel all your hate
Show no mercy
(War is the health of the state)
Enemy dehumanized
Show us all your hate
No more mercy
War is the health of the state
War is the health of the state
Child soldiers dying on the front line
Killing for a country they think divine
Propaganda feeds the lie
It's no way for a kid to die
They order more senseless violence
Get on the ground and remain silent
Justice, what they don't believe in
Revolution will set us even
Dehumanize the enemy
Channel all your hate
Show no mercy
(War is the health of the state)
Dehumanize the enemy
Channel all your hate
Show no mercy
(War is the health of the state)
Enemy dehumanized
Show us all your hate
No more mercy
War is the health of the state
War is the health of the state
Do corpses care for glory
Or do they just lay rotten?
Convinced they died a hero's death
Only to be forgotten
Combat boots caked with blood
Stained red with the needless blood
Of those who died in hellish pain
Do they not know they died in vain?
Taking in the smell
Of charred flesh and empty bullet shells
Sulfur mixed with something sweet
Bodies bloated in the heat
Listening to the symphony
Of incoming artillery
And the screams of the unlucky ones
Cut down by the rapid fire guns
Dehumanize the enemy
Channel all your hate
Show no mercy
(War is the health of the state)
Dehumanize the enemy
Channel all your hate
Show no mercy
(War is the health of the state)
Enemy dehumanized
Show us all your hate
No more mercy
War is the health of the state
War is the health of the state
