About the work
A protest song about why so much money is spent on the arms and weapon industry, when there are thousands of people around the World dying from hunger.
LYRICS
(Verse 1)
There’s a price tag on the sunrise, there’s a market for a war
All the fear they sell in boxes, shipped from far across the shore
Every handshake hides a contract carved in steel and written gore
And the suits keep getting richer while the poor keep fighting more
(Verse 2)
Factories hum like vultures circling skies already red
Million-dollar deals are signed on top of newly counted dead
Germany to distant deserts, shipment logs they never shed
It’s a business built on ashes, fed by whispers that we dread
(Chorus)
Yeah, they’ve got you covered, bullets, bombs, and blood on tap
Money lines the fingerprints of every quiet backroom pact
Countries bending, borders blending, selling souls like artifacts
Oh, they’ve got you covered—
And they’ll never give it back
(Verse 3)
Politicians speak of freedom while they pocket all the pain
Every vote becomes a wager, every truth a losing game
They’ll betray you for a dollar, sell your home and sell your name
And the world keeps turning slowly on its rusted, broken chain
(Chorus)
Yeah, they’ve got you covered, bullets, bombs, and blood on tap
Money lines the fingerprints of every quiet backroom pact
Countries bending, borders blending, selling souls like artifacts
Oh, they’ve got you covered—
And they’ll never give it back
(Bridge 1)
Steel and smoke, the engines roar
No one’s innocent in war
They say it's “saving lives” again
But profit always wins in the end
(Guitar solo)
(Bridge 2 - building up)
If the price is right, they’ll sign
Trade a future for a dime
Hear the whispers—hear the deal
Truth gets buried under steel
(Verse 4)
Now the papers talk of conflict like it fell from outer space
But it’s born in hidden boardrooms where they never show their face
And the ones who claim to lead us wear a mask of borrowed grace
While the highest bidder rises, buying power, buying place
(Chorus -explosive)
Yeah, they’ve got you covered, bullets, bombs, and blood on tap
Money lines the fingerprints of every quiet backroom pact
Countries bending, borders blending, selling souls like artifacts
Oh, they’ve got you covered—
And they’ll never give it back
