As Recorded By Sam Hodgson
(2025 Release)

Verse 1
Well I Just Keep AChecking My Phone, And Now I′M Checking Again
AFor An Article That Says We've Gone To War With Iran
I Got The ENew York Times Hitting My Line
Feels Like DEvery Twenty Seconds With EAnother Theoretical
ABomb Drop, Or A Dead Cop
Or A Thesis On Believing Or A Killing That Won′T EStop
EA Thirty-Thousand Pound Deterrent Stops The Research
And DTed Cruz Suddenly TurnedE Into A Preacher
So AGo Call Linda Mcmahon
AMiseducate The Population Quick As You Can
She'll ECome Quicker If You Tell Her Something's Turning Kids Trans
DTell The Ayatollah That HisE Fate Is Squarely Out Of HiAs Hands

Chorus
It Ain′T DWorld War Iii, At Least NotA Yet
But The EWay That Things Are Headed I′
D DisDcourage You From Betting On IAt

Verse 2
AAnd It's Gonna Be Hard To Tell Your
AChildren That The Country They′Re From
Is On The Right Side Of History When The Others Are EGone
EWhen The Guy We Got Sitting On The White House Lawn
Is A DDictating, Race-HatingE Bigot, Don't You Tell Him He′AS Wrong

Chorus
And He's DNot A King, At Least NotA Yet
But The EWay That Things Are Headed I′
D DisDcourage You From Betting On IAt

Verse 3
AIf You'reE CominAg Home From Your Vacation, Stepping Off Of Your Flight
And You See A Man Approaching Covering All But His EEyes
EYou Better Hope You Caught Him In A Happy Mood Or You're White
′Cause DNext He′Ll Take Your Kids And Cuff
Your EHands And He Won't Read You YourA Rights

Chorus
And He Loves DJesus Christ, The Man FromA Ice
World War EIii′S On The Horizon And
I DReckon We Should Run For OurA Lives
Yeah EWorld War Iii's On The Horizon And
I DReckon We Should Fight For OurA Lives

Verse 4
AIf You′VeE Got ADesigns On Deporting Scapegoats That Say
AThey're Pouring In Across The Border, Staying Too Long
EBut You′Re Having Trouble In Arresting And The People Are Protesting
And They're DSaying What You're Doing′S SoE Goddamn Wrong
Then ReAmember Mass Destruction Is A Tool For
ADeconstructing All The Laws That Are Holding You Back
And This EKind Of Thing′S Been Used Before To Justify An Oil War
That DHappened Couple Years AgoE Back In Iraq
Or It ACould Have Been Afghanistan
AOnce You Went The Line Of Questioning
The Sons Of Bitches Started Gearing Up To AtEtack
EAre You A Traitor, Do You Hate Our Democratic State
DDebate Our Policies In Public Or Are You AE Communist Rat?

Chorus
No ReDpublicans Or Democrats
Will AHave A Route For Fighting Back OnceE You Declare A NationaAl Crisis
Even DBetter, It's A Two-For-One
And AI′D Expect When The War Is Done
We'll EHave A Brand New DIraniaAn Isis

Verse 5
AI′M Trying To Keep My Head Above The
AWater But The World Is Getting Hotter
AWhile I'm Trying To Figure Out Who I Am
I EJust Turned Twenty-Three And It Seems To Me
That DHeading Off To War Doesn′TE Make You A Man
So ANow I Got A Theory And If Anyone Can Hear Me
AWho Has Any Kind Of Proof That I'm Wrong
Speak Your EMind, Or Even Better, Write A Strongly-Worded Letter
My AdDdress Is 1600 PennsyElvania, You Can Leave It On ThAe Lawn
