chorus:

well we try and we try, but we don't know how

there's nothing much more that we can see

if it's going to happen, should've happened by now

what is it going to take to start world war three?

September 11, we thought that we were there

the U.S. put bombers up in the air

pointed them toward Afghanistan

dropped their cargo on the Taliban

but the Paks didn't bite, they stayed on their side

they even took the U.S. along for the ride

and India left well enough alone

and quieted down in the Kashmir zone

chorus

so next they tried an Iraq attack

until they get peace, there's no turning back

al Qaeda and Sadr had another idea

and meanwhile the missiles fly from North Korea

Bali, Riyadh, Madrid, and Londontown

and one guy brought an Egyptair flight down

in Denmark, France, and Holland, they know the score

but still we can't seem to just get on with the war

chorus

bridge

Ahmadinejad told Hezbollah to get it on 

Israel bombed the Palestinians

they took out Lebanese roads and ports

and they're training their sights on Syria's shores

chorus

how much more will it take to start world war three?
