Throughout the generations flags of peace and treaties sworn
decade passes by it's just the calm before the storm
An age-old situation that it seems may never end
Round and round we go and round and round we go again
What we see hides out in the grotto 
What we [bad word] back around to follow
All these things, when will we see?
It's pouring out of the lands

In a thousand years of war
thousand lives are torn
thousand bullets hit the ground
thousand mothers mourn
The glass if half empty and the barrels half full
The aristocracy paid by the death toll
And both sides still rockin' their beliefs
The crooked politicians and the [bad word] up police
From this worldly [bad word] I need a release
I can't believe they all died for a little grease

Throughout the generations flags of peace and treaties sworn
But history has proven that it's just the calm before the storm
Something's gone on for way too long and that's one thing for sure
constant game of tug o' war
I'm asking what's it all for?

thousand years of war
Can you tell me who wins a war?
And what's the [bad word] in the end?
It's not a fairytale ending paved with happiness and joy
We've got another [bad word] What's it for? Tells the fate of our tomorrow
What's the score? Another round is sure to follow
As for the innocent standing out in the streets
Take cover, it's another dead end

Lines in sand, lies and demands
You think you see [bad word] Got another [bad word] 
Take cover it's another dead end

(Round and around and around we go)
Pandemonium, confusion, hysteria, when's it going to end?
Stop all the fighting and stop all the war
Stop all the fighting it's kind of hard to ignore
Stop all the fighting can't you see its dead end?
Can you see its dead end?
