It lives within us
We don't know it's name
But it stops and turns you
All the same!
The seed was planted
Right from the start
There's no repenting
We are who we are!
Oh God, tell me why
You rule us from the sky
You put us here to die
The war machine's alive!
We live each day
Denying the call
Just keep on moving
On and on!
(On, on, on, on, on, on, on)
Make no mistake
Don't be no fool
The will to evil
Is in you too!
Oh God, tell me why
You rule us from the sky
You put us here to die
The war machine's alive!
(Oh It's alive in our lives)
(Solo)
Oh God, tell me why
You rule us from the sky
You put us here to die
The war machine's alive! It's alive!
