about

Somehow the occurence of war seems to repeat itself over and over. (Only the player's names change). Unfortunately, military spending is a huge part of the U. S, economy, and war benefits some corporation pocketbooks.

lyrics

Between the Eyes
written by John Beccia

They're dying in the east, they're dying in the west
We sell our bombs to either side and disregard what's best
Can't you see what's happenin' to us
Our government's a threat to all our lives
If they think they'd make a profit
Then they'd shoot you right between the eyes


This craziness is reigning, it's ruling every land
Our lives are disregarded by their power's greedy hand
Can't you see what's happenin' to us
Our government is feeding us their lies
If they think they'd make a profit
Then they'd shoot you right between the eyes

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Afghanistan, El Salvador were only power's pawns
Anesthetized by T.V.'s lies, we don't know right from wrong
Can't you see what's happenin' to us
Our government is dressed in death's disguise
If they think they'd make a profit
Then they'd shoot you right between the eyes

Now man is killing man, and man is killing beast
And man is killing future time, somehow it's got to cease
Can't you see what's happenin' to us
Our government just gives it's stock replies
If they think they'd make a profit
Then they'd shoot you right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
Between the Eyes
