War Is A Joke For Me And You

War is a joke for me and you.
While we know, they’re fairly true.
We are arrogant leaders, yet we think we’re powerful.
Take a look at the world beyond ours and see how forgetful,
We are, logically forgetting that there are many worlds,
Galaxies, planets which amongst earth swirls.
Just a little sense of power in our hands
Makes us think we are now new brands
Just wait until me and you go weak
And see how our brothers and sisters change the way they speak.
War is a joke for me and you.
When the time comes, we shouldn’t ask ‘ what did I do?
