The Cave Dwellers

Whilst men are pulling triggers

In the race to depart this earth

We are applauding our sales figures

And smiling at what we are worth

We manufacture weapons you see

Conflict is where our market thrives

We specialise in the field of military

It is they who fund our wealthy lives

We’ve won awards for our innovation

There are so many ways we can kill

We offer support and dedication

To regimes who like to murder at will

Hate has always been our calling

Our sales team never miss a beat

We know how many soldiers are falling

By the ticked boxes on our spreadsheet

We’ve got weapons for every occasion

And we’re happy to encourage civil unrest

It matters not if you’re African, Arab or Asian

Our morals wear a bullet proof vest

Our projections for the future is booming

We have governments at our doors

The bankers do all of our grooming

We get paid to start most of the wars

There’s no ending to our profiteering

We have access to millions of slaves

The young folk are still volunteering

So we'll bomb us all back to the caves

War is our cacophonous euphoria

We are delirious and we are insane

And the irony of our man made hysteria

Is that we will never get the blame
