War is business and business is great

With the demand that they create

They just invent another enemy

And death becomes a commodity

It’s the Iron Triangle

The military industrial complex

Have become merchants of death

Rig legislation, sell devastation

Then they call it a day and take a paid vacation

Defense companies form PAC lobbies

They fund congressional candidacies

They buy an office, a seat in congress

Trade favors with the bureaucracy

They’ve found a loop hole around democracy

We finance their weapons contracts

They build their empire with our income tax

They sell the rockets, line their pockets

And turn war into a profit
