Diplomacy is dead, diplomacy is dead
We shot it in the head, now diplomacy lies dead
Diplomacy is dead, diplomacy is dead
We shot it in the head, now diplomacy lies dead
Diplomacy is dead, diplomacy is dead
No longer kissing babies, just bombing them instead
Diplomacy is dead, diplomacy is dead
Our campaign contribution is a bag of severed heads

War is the only option as the scum rises to the top
Psychopathic leaders protected by the cops
We bribe you with wages, buy your loyalty
We'll give you sparkling labour camps, you'll give us liberty

Fear the imaginary, fear the outside threat
Our power's our ability to fake that we protect
From our golden towers we broadcast to you all
Tradition, law, religion, new borders and new walls

Diplomacy is dead, diplomacy is dead
We shot it in the head, now diplomacy lies dead
Diplomacy is dead, diplomacy is dead
We shot it in the head, now diplomacy lies dead
Diplomacy is dead, diplomacy is dead
An allied is an allied 'til we kick him out of bed
Diplomacy is dead, diplomacy is dead
It used to rain piss but now it's raining lead

Diplomacy is dead – dead!
Diplomacy is dead – dead!
We shot it in the head, now diplomacy is dead
Diplomacy is dead – dead!
Diplomacy is dead – dead!
We shot it in the head, now diplomacy is dead

We leak the meaningless to make you feel informed
Then we pretend we need new laws while we're riding out the storm
We show colour coded charts, not bodies dead on hooks
And everybody's waving their flags and fucking holy books

We want you right there, in a state of fear
We want you to fear the people around you
It'll keep us elected, keep you distracted
From seeing the actions of us above
