Here we are
Once again
In all our vain-

glorious ambition
No doubt or
Second guess

And damned
The consequence
When the end

Is Justified
By ever changing
Reasons and lies

When hubris rules
Honesty wanes
It's a dangerous game


It's easy
To rationalize

When it's someone
Else's life
Power makes even

The coward brave
It's a dangerous game


Black gold
At what cost
How many innocent

Lives have been lost
How many barrels of
Blood does it take

To fill an SUV
These days
All this

And what for
This land's now a
Festering open sore

How long
Are we stayin'
It's a dangerous game

We're playin'

It's a dangerous game

It's a dangerous game
It's a dangerous game
We're playin'
