War Is Coming Lyrics

[Verse]
War is coming, you can hear it in the distance
It sounds like all the screams of a million men and women
You can smell it in the air and see it on your television
And the government don't care, they see the money, not the missiles
War is coming, and there's nowhere you can hide
We get a thirty-minute warning 'fore the bomb reaches our side
You can run for somewhere safer, but you'll just run outta time
'Cause there's nothing you can do except prepare yourself to die
War is coming, can you feel it? Has your fear become a secret?
Who are you more scared of, Donald Trump or North Korea?
Are you worried when you're reading all the headlines in the evening?
Even atheists will pray that they survive and start believing
War is coming, born from money, worn and ugly like it's always been
The bullets just got faster and the bombs are made from hydrogen
America the Brave will have to earn her Stars and Stripes again
She wrote the books on history, but someone else might write her end
War is coming, war is coming, war has come to get the west
It was beating down our door while we were beating on our chest
It was making better weapons while we laughed at making threats
And now it's come to gets its vengeance, and we've just become oppressed, war is coming
