Nightmare of death strikes us all
 Precaution to prevent disaster
 In the grip of fear mistakes are made
 And paranoia becomes the master
 We cannot trust the senile fool
 Who rules our petty nation
 We put our faith in technology
 To save us from obliteration

 In the race to win priorities lost
 Victory assured at what cost?
 Defense network spread far and wide
 Works off human sacrifice
 Radiation that leaves us dead
 Won't harm circuits encased in lead
 Countries of the world are robbed of life
 Battles are waged by satellites

 Machines are given full reign
 Electronic soldiers feel no pain
 If they win who's to gain?
 Your fate is sealed by emotionless steel

 Laser beams striking down
 Premonitions of death for those on the ground
 Man has created his own misery
 What a bloodthirsty creature he has turned out to be
 The earth lies stagnant in radioactive decay
 Man is now fading away
 Victims of the holocaust live in fear
 For they soon know another war will be here

 Machines are given full reign
 Electronic soldiers feel no pain
 If they win who's to gain?
 Your fate is sealed by emotionless steel

 Machines in power their purpose decreed
 Annihilate the enemy
 The humans that remain want the war to stop
 They just can't turn the damn things off
 Robot soldiers stalking the plains
 Striking down the humans that remain
 Rebuilding armies on the assembly line

 So we can go to war one more time
