As Recorded By Sam Hodgson
(2025 Release)

Verse 1
Well I Just Keep DChecking My Phone, And Now I′M Checking Again
DFor An Article That Says We've Gone To War With Iran
I Got The ANew York Times Hitting My Line
Feels Like GEvery Twenty Seconds With AAnother Theoretical
DBomb Drop, Or A Dead Cop
Or A Thesis On Believing Or A Killing That Won′T AStop
AA Thirty-Thousand Pound Deterrent Stops The Research
And GTed Cruz Suddenly TurnedA Into A Preacher
So DGo Call Linda Mcmahon
DMiseducate The Population Quick As You Can
She'll ACome Quicker If You Tell Her Something's Turning Kids Trans
GTell The Ayatollah That HisA Fate Is Squarely Out Of HiDs Hands

Chorus
It Ain′T GWorld War Iii, At Least NotD Yet
But The AWay That Things Are Headed I′
D DisGcourage You From Betting On IDt

Verse 2
DAnd It's Gonna Be Hard To Tell Your
DChildren That The Country They′Re From
Is On The Right Side Of History When The Others Are AGone
AWhen The Guy We Got Sitting On The White House Lawn
Is A GDictating, Race-HatingA Bigot, Don't You Tell Him He′DS Wrong

Chorus
And He's GNot A King, At Least NotD Yet
But The AWay That Things Are Headed I′
D DisGcourage You From Betting On IDt

Verse 3
DIf You'reA CominDg Home From Your Vacation, Stepping Off Of Your Flight
And You See A Man Approaching Covering All But His AEyes
AYou Better Hope You Caught Him In A Happy Mood Or You're White
′Cause GNext He′Ll Take Your Kids And Cuff
Your AHands And He Won't Read You YourD Rights

Chorus
And He Loves GJesus Christ, The Man FromD Ice
World War AIii′S On The Horizon And
I GReckon We Should Run For OurD Lives
Yeah AWorld War Iii's On The Horizon And
I GReckon We Should Fight For OurD Lives

Verse 4
DIf You′VeA Got DDesigns On Deporting Scapegoats That Say
DThey're Pouring In Across The Border, Staying Too Long
ABut You′Re Having Trouble In Arresting And The People Are Protesting
And They're GSaying What You're Doing′S SoA Goddamn Wrong
Then ReDmember Mass Destruction Is A Tool For
DDeconstructing All The Laws That Are Holding You Back
And This AKind Of Thing′S Been Used Before To Justify An Oil War
That GHappened Couple Years AgoA Back In Iraq
Or It DCould Have Been Afghanistan
DOnce You Went The Line Of Questioning
The Sons Of Bitches Started Gearing Up To AtAtack
AAre You A Traitor, Do You Hate Our Democratic State
GDebate Our Policies In Public Or Are You AA Communist Rat?

Chorus
No ReGpublicans Or Democrats
Will DHave A Route For Fighting Back OnceA You Declare A NationaDl Crisis
Even GBetter, It's A Two-For-One
And DI′D Expect When The War Is Done
We'll AHave A Brand New GIraniaDn Isis

Verse 5
DI′M Trying To Keep My Head Above The
DWater But The World Is Getting Hotter
DWhile I'm Trying To Figure Out Who I Am
I AJust Turned Twenty-Three And It Seems To Me
That GHeading Off To War Doesn′TA Make You A Man
So DNow I Got A Theory And If Anyone Can Hear Me
DWho Has Any Kind Of Proof That I'm Wrong
Speak Your AMind, Or Even Better, Write A Strongly-Worded Letter
My AdGdress Is 1600 PennsyAlvania, You Can Leave It On ThDe Lawn
