Coming into Baghdad at twice the speed of sound
Destiny is calling in the air and on the ground
Gather up your children, take a final look around
If you live in Baghdad, time to think of leaving town

Another mother's anguish, another father's rage
So while you're making history with the wars that you wage
Try not to kill too many of the ones you're trying to save

Ever since there been no man

If the way to find it is to kill another man
In the elevator, in the subway, in the can
Everybody's talking 'bout that crazy-ass Saddam
Must like the taste of danger trying to mess with Uncle Sam
Support your global sheriff now, he always gets his man
Tell me why we go to war
No need to show we can

Ever since there been no man

Tell me why we go to war
No need to show we can
There ain't never been no conflict
Ever since there been no man
Is it peace we're fighting for?
