The Men Who Spent Tomorrow

For the men who spent tomorrow…
Rattle the sabre and turn the land i love
To the schoolyard bully
A rich man's war but a poor man's fight
(is it ever any other way?)

Power, influence, trade and diplomacy
Is it really cheaper
To pay the price with young man's lives?

For the men who spent tomorrow
Fast and dirty was the only way to get it done
For those who stole and borrowed
So where credit's due let's give a big "thank you"
For the men who spent tomorrow.

When will the riches begin to satisfy?
Cutting desperate corners
To enjoy a fatter bottom line

After the last tree burns you will realize
That we can't eat money
Is it cheaper to pay with borrowed time?

For the men who spent tomorrow
Fast and dirty was the only way to get it done
For those who stole and borrowed
So where credit's due let's give a big "thank you"
To the men who spent tomorrow.

This is my country…

For the men who spent tomorrow
Fast and dirty was the only way to get it done
For those who stole and borrowed
So where credit's due let's send a big "fuck you"
To the men who spent tomorrow.

For the men who spent tomorrow…
This is my country…
How can you sleep at night, how can you sleep?
