Merchants of death are not only those who drop the bombs
On innocent and helpless civilians
They’re not only those who invade homes day and night
Merchants of death are not only the mercenaries

Who destroy homes and displace lives
Merchants of death are not only the foot soldiers
Merchants of death are arms firms
Whose merchandise is warhead

Merchants of death are the lawmakers
Who receive campaign funds from arms firms
And support their business of wars
Merchants of death are policy makers

Who increase arms budgets
To increase annual tolls of death.
