As Recorded By Sam Hodgson
(2025 Release)

Verse 1
Well I Just Keep EChecking My Phone, And Now I′M Checking Again
EFor An Article That Says We've Gone To War With Iran
I Got The BNew York Times Hitting My Line
Feels Like AEvery Twenty Seconds With BAnother Theoretical
EBomb Drop, Or A Dead Cop
Or A Thesis On Believing Or A Killing That Won′T BStop
BA Thirty-Thousand Pound Deterrent Stops The Research
And ATed Cruz Suddenly TurnedB Into A Preacher
So EGo Call Linda Mcmahon
EMiseducate The Population Quick As You Can
She'll BCome Quicker If You Tell Her Something's Turning Kids Trans
ATell The Ayatollah That HisB Fate Is Squarely Out Of HiEs Hands

Chorus
It Ain′T AWorld War Iii, At Least NotE Yet
But The BWay That Things Are Headed I′
D DisAcourage You From Betting On IEt

Verse 2
EAnd It's Gonna Be Hard To Tell Your
EChildren That The Country They′Re From
Is On The Right Side Of History When The Others Are BGone
BWhen The Guy We Got Sitting On The White House Lawn
Is A ADictating, Race-HatingB Bigot, Don't You Tell Him He′ES Wrong

Chorus
And He's ANot A King, At Least NotE Yet
But The BWay That Things Are Headed I′
D DisAcourage You From Betting On IEt

Verse 3
EIf You'reB CominEg Home From Your Vacation, Stepping Off Of Your Flight
And You See A Man Approaching Covering All But His BEyes
BYou Better Hope You Caught Him In A Happy Mood Or You're White
′Cause ANext He′Ll Take Your Kids And Cuff
Your BHands And He Won't Read You YourE Rights

Chorus
And He Loves AJesus Christ, The Man FromE Ice
World War BIii′S On The Horizon And
I AReckon We Should Run For OurE Lives
Yeah BWorld War Iii's On The Horizon And
I AReckon We Should Fight For OurE Lives

Verse 4
EIf You′VeB Got EDesigns On Deporting Scapegoats That Say
EThey're Pouring In Across The Border, Staying Too Long
BBut You′Re Having Trouble In Arresting And The People Are Protesting
And They're ASaying What You're Doing′S SoB Goddamn Wrong
Then ReEmember Mass Destruction Is A Tool For
EDeconstructing All The Laws That Are Holding You Back
And This BKind Of Thing′S Been Used Before To Justify An Oil War
That AHappened Couple Years AgoB Back In Iraq
Or It ECould Have Been Afghanistan
EOnce You Went The Line Of Questioning
The Sons Of Bitches Started Gearing Up To AtBtack
BAre You A Traitor, Do You Hate Our Democratic State
ADebate Our Policies In Public Or Are You AB Communist Rat?

Chorus
No ReApublicans Or Democrats
Will EHave A Route For Fighting Back OnceB You Declare A NationaEl Crisis
Even ABetter, It's A Two-For-One
And EI′D Expect When The War Is Done
We'll BHave A Brand New AIraniaEn Isis

Verse 5
EI′M Trying To Keep My Head Above The
EWater But The World Is Getting Hotter
EWhile I'm Trying To Figure Out Who I Am
I BJust Turned Twenty-Three And It Seems To Me
That AHeading Off To War Doesn′TB Make You A Man
So ENow I Got A Theory And If Anyone Can Hear Me
EWho Has Any Kind Of Proof That I'm Wrong
Speak Your BMind, Or Even Better, Write A Strongly-Worded Letter
My AdAdress Is 1600 PennsyBlvania, You Can Leave It On ThEe Lawn
