Viagra Wars
A Kid Hereafter Lyrics

Starting a viagra war,
Initiating a conflict between older males who feel the need to prove their virility through medication.

Old men getting even like never before,
Elderly individuals attempting to win an imagined competition for youth and sexual prowess.

Disorganized preemptive war,
A poorly planned and executed strike, taken before there is real threat or justification to do so.

What the fuck are we fighting for,
Questioning the rationale behind the conflict and expressing the senselessness of it.

Only man could dream up war.
Human beings are the only species with the intellectual capacity and destructive tendencies to create such a phenomenon.

The world is run by criminals,
Asserting that those in power are often involved in corruption, deceit, and illegal conduct.

Drawning up their pacts,
Crafting contracts in secret, without public knowledge, to further their own interests.

Their mission is subliminal,
Their objective is hidden or disguised, concealed from the general population.

To disregard the facts,
Acting in opposition to the truth, ignoring or manipulating information to suit their own agendas.

Chimpanzees will bond together,
Suggesting that even primates are capable of solidarity and cooperation to achieve a common goal.

Go out for the kill,
They will use violence to achieve that goal.

You can't say were rational,
It is difficult to attribute the decisions made by humans to sound reasoning or logic.

or acting on free will.
There is a suggestion that external (and possibly hidden) factors contribute to the decisions made by humans.

Oil supplies our need for speed,
Petroleum products are integral to our transportation and mobility as a society.

The poppies and the coke,
Alluding to drug production and trade, and how they contribute to the economy and the power structure.

Profits from amphetamine,
Amphetamines are another drug with significant financial gain for certain individuals and organizations.

Makes pot look like a joke,
Comparing marijuana to other drugs that are perceived by some as more potent or lucrative.

The junkie is the enemy,
Portraying drug addicts as adversaries, rather than victims of systemic issues and sociopolitical neglect.

The bankers blur the trail,
Alleging that those in the financial sector obfuscate their actions and intentions, making accountability difficult.

We're here to hand you sovereignty,
Purporting to give people control and freedom, while actually reinforcing existing power structures.

And build another jail.
Erecting physical spaces of confinement, while also perpetuating societal norms that lead to economic, social, and political imprisonment.

What are we fighting for?
Reiterating the point made earlier, questioning the underlying motivations and reasons for the conflict.

The viagra wars!
Naming the battle, and highlighting how absurd it is in the grand scheme of things.
