[Verse 1]
I read the news while making breakfast,
Another war under the trends.
Another stock just hit new records,
Another man who won’t rise again.
I stirred my coffee, kept on scrolling,
Through a feed that never ends.
Oh, we’re living in the future,
But the blood’s still red, my friend.
[Verse 2]
There’s a pilot in Nevada,
Flying angels through a screen.
Somewhere over there,
In a place that’s never been in our dreams.
And a preacher sells salvation,
To the ghosts in the machines.
We can quantify compassion,
By the love we get in memes.
[Chorus] Oh, we’re all so civilized Pass the bombs if you wouldn’t mind Let’s raise a glass to reason And let’s toast to “peace of mind” From the comfort of home Where we’re safe from blame Don’t worry, baby We’re just playing war games
[Verse 3]
We throw stones behind fake names,
And call it being brave.
Conviction just means content,
And the metrics will be printed on our graves.
Let’s weaponize our virtues,
Let our hearts forget the shame.
We’re the jury and the hangman,
And the verdict’s just the same.
[Verse 4]
We built cathedrals out of data,
Where the faithful check their feeds.
Where all the truth’s subjective,
If it fits the market’s needs.
Oh, I’ll die in high definition,
With my dignity erased.
Pour another round and pray,
For the algorithm’s grace.
[Chorus] Oh, we’re all so civilized Please pass the bombs if you wouldn’t mind Let’s raise a glass to reason And let’s toast to “peace of mind” From the comfort of home Where we’re safe and feel no blame Don’t worry, baby We’re just playing war games
[Bridge] We still kiss the kids goodnight, Tell them everything’s okay. Say our prayers for something righteous, And scroll the night away.
[Chorus] Oh, we’re all so civilized Please pass the bombs if you wouldn’t mind Let’s raise a glass to reason And let’s toast to “peace of mind” From the comfort of home Where we’re safe and feel no blame Don’t worry, baby We’re just playing war games
[Outro] Oh don’t worry, baby We’re just playing war games
I said don’t worry, baby We’re just playing war games
Don’t worry, baby We’re just playing war games
