Warhead Lyrics
[Intro]
Why?
The king of lies is alive
Look around, look inside - Infidel
Infidel
Infidel
Infidel
[Verse 1]
It begins here
It ends now
The prince must pay
His head or the crown
Rob the poor
Slaughter the weak
Distort the law
Perfect deceit
[Chorus]
Do I need a gas mask?
(Should I get inoculated?)
Will this war last?
(Will we be incinerated?)
[Post-Chorus]
False gods, death squads
Blind
[Verse 2]
This is a catastrophe
Weapon systems activated
Puritans have invaded
This is a catastrophe
To protect against the threat
[Bridge]
Order must be kept
Order must be kept
Order must be kept
[Chorus]
Do I need a gas mask?
(Should I get inoculated?)
Will this war last?
(Will we be incinerated?)
[Post-Chorus]
False gods, death squads
Blind
[Breakdown]
The elephants march to war
Concede
Conform
Concede
Conform
Deny the big lie
My tribe
Join me
[Bridge 2]
An alliance of defiance
In the warhead
An alliance of defiance
In the warhead
An alliance of defiance
In the warhead
An alliance of defiance
In the warhead
[Verse 3]
All are welcome here
Give me your tired
Give me your sick
Give me indulgence and decadence
Give me your tired
Give me your sick
Give me indulgence and decadence
Give me your tired
Give me your sick
Give me indulgence and decadence
[Verse 4]
He lied, they died
Keep the peasants terrified
He lied, they died
Keep the peasants terrified
This is a catastrophe
You must lead if they get me
[Outro]
On my command
Break free
Break free
Break free
Break free

Y'know, I wrote ‘Warhead’ back in 2004, going after George W. Bush. Other musicians who are friends of mine would come up saying, ‘That’s too controversial, what you’re doing. You’re splitting your audience.’ I said, ‘Guys, 10 years from now I’m not gonna care if I spli...
