Lyrics

Little boy soldier, tommy gun, he'd kill to play "peacekeeper man"
It's a little game he learned from dad
His daddy was a "peacekeeper" in iraq
Pretending he's off soldiering, in a distant far off land
He cocks his gun - he shoots you down

Murder again, and again, and again
Murder again and again
Murder again and again and again
Teaching the children to murder, oh

Sunday morning off to church, a red faced preacher sweating words
This fat old fuck goes on and on, tommy learns a special lesson
"Thou shall love thy neighbor, and thou shall never kill
Void in the name of cash."

Murder again, and again, and again
Murder again and again
Murder again and again and again
Teaching the children to murder, yeah!

You're gonna dream tonight little boy
And in the nightmare you're gonna wake up to think
That's when you get it!
They punish anyone, don't you know?
Who shows any sign of understanding more than the rhetoric

Just like his dad and his dad's dad before him
Tommy went off to fight in a war
And protect his people from an inhumane race
From an out of sight threat, in a far away place
And just before tommy got shot down
He stopped to think, to ask himself
"Are their armies also made up of their poor?" ooh

Murder again, and again, and again
Murder again and again
Murder again and again and again
Teaching the children to murder
How to murder
