As It Was, as It Soon Shall Be

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We didn't pay attention to lessons learned in the past Soon the sands in the desert will melt from the atomic blast Mesopotamia's ground zero for the coming of world war Thousands die in the sand but I still don't understand what for [Chorus] As it was, as it soon shall be We're teetering on the brink of a World War Three A repetition of history as you soon shall see As it was, as it soon shall be [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] War mongering leader of ours waves the flag of democracy Sending our men out to die in the name of bureaucracy The oil fields of Iraq are overflowing with blood Another man dies but the lies rain down like a flood [Chorus] As it was, as it soon shall be We're teetering on the brink of a World War Three A repetition of history as you soon shall see As it was, as it soon shall be [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] No weapons of mass destruction, no threat to me Just one man's agenda for war, not a land of the free I never gave a shit about the Middle East But now we lie in the bed that we've made, start the atomic feast [Chorus] As it was, as it soon shall be We're teetering on the brink of a World War Three A repetition of history as you soon shall see As it was, as it soon shall be [Outro] As it was, as it soon shall be As it was, as it soon shall be As it was, as it soon shall be As it was, as it soon shall be
