As Recorded By Sam Hodgson
(2025 Release)

Verse 1
Well I Just Keep CChecking My Phone, And Now I′M Checking Again
CFor An Article That Says We've Gone To War With Iran
I Got The GNew York Times Hitting My Line
Feels Like FEvery Twenty Seconds With GAnother Theoretical
CBomb Drop, Or A Dead Cop
Or A Thesis On Believing Or A Killing That Won′T GStop
GA Thirty-Thousand Pound Deterrent Stops The Research
And FTed Cruz Suddenly TurnedG Into A Preacher
So CGo Call Linda Mcmahon
CMiseducate The Population Quick As You Can
She'll GCome Quicker If You Tell Her Something's Turning Kids Trans
FTell The Ayatollah That HisG Fate Is Squarely Out Of HiCs Hands

Chorus
It Ain′T FWorld War Iii, At Least NotC Yet
But The GWay That Things Are Headed I′
D DisFcourage You From Betting On ICt

Verse 2
CAnd It's Gonna Be Hard To Tell Your
CChildren That The Country They′Re From
Is On The Right Side Of History When The Others Are GGone
GWhen The Guy We Got Sitting On The White House Lawn
Is A FDictating, Race-HatingG Bigot, Don't You Tell Him He′CS Wrong

Chorus
And He's FNot A King, At Least NotC Yet
But The GWay That Things Are Headed I′
D DisFcourage You From Betting On ICt

Verse 3
CIf You'reG CominCg Home From Your Vacation, Stepping Off Of Your Flight
And You See A Man Approaching Covering All But His GEyes
GYou Better Hope You Caught Him In A Happy Mood Or You're White
′Cause FNext He′Ll Take Your Kids And Cuff
Your GHands And He Won't Read You YourC Rights

Chorus
And He Loves FJesus Christ, The Man FromC Ice
World War GIii′S On The Horizon And
I FReckon We Should Run For OurC Lives
Yeah GWorld War Iii's On The Horizon And
I FReckon We Should Fight For OurC Lives

Verse 4
CIf You′VeG Got CDesigns On Deporting Scapegoats That Say
CThey're Pouring In Across The Border, Staying Too Long
GBut You′Re Having Trouble In Arresting And The People Are Protesting
And They're FSaying What You're Doing′S SoG Goddamn Wrong
Then ReCmember Mass Destruction Is A Tool For
CDeconstructing All The Laws That Are Holding You Back
And This GKind Of Thing′S Been Used Before To Justify An Oil War
That FHappened Couple Years AgoG Back In Iraq
Or It CCould Have Been Afghanistan
COnce You Went The Line Of Questioning
The Sons Of Bitches Started Gearing Up To AtGtack
GAre You A Traitor, Do You Hate Our Democratic State
FDebate Our Policies In Public Or Are You AG Communist Rat?

Chorus
No ReFpublicans Or Democrats
Will CHave A Route For Fighting Back OnceG You Declare A NationaCl Crisis
Even FBetter, It's A Two-For-One
And CI′D Expect When The War Is Done
We'll GHave A Brand New FIraniaCn Isis

Verse 5
CI′M Trying To Keep My Head Above The
CWater But The World Is Getting Hotter
CWhile I'm Trying To Figure Out Who I Am
I GJust Turned Twenty-Three And It Seems To Me
That FHeading Off To War Doesn′TG Make You A Man
So CNow I Got A Theory And If Anyone Can Hear Me
CWho Has Any Kind Of Proof That I'm Wrong
Speak Your GMind, Or Even Better, Write A Strongly-Worded Letter
My AdFdress Is 1600 PennsyGlvania, You Can Leave It On ThCe Lawn
