That's how to ration the poor
All they ever gave to them was a war
Let them eat war, let them eat war
Let them eat war, let them eat war
But the people who benefit most
We've got to kill them and eat them
With long division and writing crop
That's how to ration the poor
The war economy is making new jobs
A stones throw away from a rock fight
Let them eat war, let them eat war
When it's served up piping hot
Let them eat war, let them eat war
Let them eat war, let them eat war
Seasoned vets with their feet in nets
'Cause they're the finest in the nation
But not tonight, feed them death
But the people aren't looking for a handout
Can this be what they voted for?
When there's nothing left to feed them
'Cause it's freedom or death and they won't question it
Are breaking bread with their benevolent hosts
Before they reach for their checks
Seize a few dollars from the people who sweat
That's how to ration the poor
Squeeze some blue collars let them bleed from their necks
From the force to the union shops
(Feed them death)
And a foreign enemy to deplore
When it's freedom or it's death
They're America's working corps
At a job site the boss is God like
There's an urgent need to feed, declining pride
Here comes another ration
There's an urgent need to feed, declining pride
Who never stole from the rich to give to the poor
(Feed them death)
Conditioned workhorses park at a stoplight
Anybody can feel like a winner
Let them eat war, let them eat war
