lyrics

In the clouds there is an unmanned creature prowling
For some needle lost inside our haystack home
Hundreds perish for the few they seek
This is a great injustice for which few will speak

Combat work is 9 to 5
You'll come home every day alive
To kiss your wife and hug your kids
Be thankful for the life you live
Push the button, drop the bomb
Go back home and mow the lawn
The consequences won't be seen
Lay your head down, sweet dreams

Families live each day with such great fears
Knowing that occupation will not cease for years
Hatred grows as death accumulate
They merely fan the flames they seek to mitigate
Combat work is 9 to 5
You'll come home every day alive
To kiss your wife and hug your kids
Be thankful for the life you live
Push the button, drop the bomb
Go back home and mow the lawn
The consequences won't be seen
Lay your head down, sweet dreams

Surrounded by corruption on all sides
We find no relief in politicians lies
An honest man, when pushed, will surely snap
It's just a matter of time before we each fight back
Combat work is 9 to 5
You'll come home every day alive
To kiss your wife and hug your kids
Be thankful for the life you live
Push the button, drop the bomb
Go back home and mow the lawn
The consequences won't be seen

Cloud the reasons for invasion
They won't see it
Paint a picture of doom
Fear is the method of persuasion
They'll all buy it
All such short-sighted fools
I say, test the prototype
Lay your head down, sweet dreams
