Sticks and Stones (feat. Jamie Hanks)

man with a gun is still a man with a gun 
regardless of the shield bearing number and name 
I'll never trust "the man," not a man with a gun 
regardless of his shield bearing number and name 
is there peace buried beneath 2,000 years of prejudice? 
Oh, its on the tip of everyone's tongue 
with a lot being said yet nothing being done 
Head first into wars made for profit (may our hearts) 
Yet there's nothing we can do to stop it (guide us home) 
Meanwhile, our representative-elect send hitmen 
armed with charm, smiling as dummy governments 
build over third-world homes for our exponential profit 
Back home we rally, "raid the reserve! audit the treasury!" 
before our economy becomes the singularity 
their bonds are worthless, not worth their weight in ink 
Back home we scream, "BURN THE [bad word] BANK!" 
Your profit equals debt, get it through to your head 
BURN THE [bad word] BANK 
sticks and stones. bricks and bones 
may our hearts guide us home 
May our broken hearts guide us home 
In the end, we're lost in this wolf's world 
Lost in this wolf's world, no lions gain ground. 
we're reduced to sticks and stones 
wars and bombs will bring no one home 
falling back to sticks and stones 
all that's left is bricks and bones 

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein.
