Feed the cut and get in line/ now that we are neck deep into the Iraq War, we want people to enlist to fight, which we hoed would help end the war with us on top, but is really just prolonging the war and fucking ourselves over.
To live and burn is Tug Of War/ To live the way we are, invading other countries and installing dictators only leads to war fights and wars.
Raped/ We are basically raping ourselves and fucking ourselves over by continuing to do this
Go back and forth until it's learned/ Again, we will keep doing this until we learn that it doesn't work
To suffer now or nothing is gained/ the way most people see the war now is that even though it isn't beneficial, we can't lose, so we keep fighting now
Then wake within a freezing sweat/ I'm not sure on this, but I think it means that we give the people half-assed propaganda that people shouldn't believe because it contradicts itself
Push and pull collecting doubt/ We keep fighting only to realize more and more that this is pointless
Starting seeds/ The whole point of installing dictators in these countries was to start our own offspring and gain a bunch of countries who will blindly follow us
Lost inspiration/ Again, we are becoming less inspired to fight the war, realizing it is bad
Panic on the rise/ But we are scared of what might happen if we were to pull out without actually winning
A severed attempt ignored/ I'm not sure on this one, but I think it is that we have failed to do this before, but we fail to recognize that and we do it again anyway
The reason never outweighs the truth/ The reason for us to be fighting here is said to be because of terrorists, but the educated know that it is about oil, money, and power
So backing up and lean against/ We start to doubt ourselves so we ask for help, from other countries, or from our citizens, asking the to enlist
The liars club comets shame/ The people who try to tell us that the war is on terrorism and lie to us will be put to shame
Wasting farther collecting doubt/ Again, we keep fighting, but realize more and more that it's a bad idea
So hand it off/ Blame it on the Middle East instead of admitting that it's our fault
Don't care enough/ They don't care about the people enough to tell them the truth, or to stop sending them to their deaths
Cause ignorance is in blissful reach/ Because making the people dumb and lying to them is easier than to take the criticism and tell the truth, and right now it's working
Never played the game/ They don't know what it's like to go out and risk your life, they just know the profit that sending others to do so can create
Feed, the last head trip/ not sure about this one either, but I think it means that we tell the people it will be over soon, but we could be feeding more propaganda because we don't know
I believe the song is about the war, and not about God mostly because of
The line "starting seeds". It seems extremely irrelevant to a Christian song, and seems to contradict Christian values, but that's the way I see it.
