Lyrics
They come marching in
Barely recognizable as human
With all weapons drawn
Acting on beliefs and orders
Like automatons
They represent a condition of man
So frail in the world
That he submits to a greater force
To be absolved and relieved of his thoughts
He functions under illusions
That he maintains order and peace
Serving the madness of bad men
Right to your face
Taught to see you as vermin
A constant threat of lower form
Itching to pull the trigger
Right in your face
No rights in times of martial law
Lost in fog of war
Through suppression of the press
He'll "Serve and protect"
Whose conscience does he serve
When he aims his gun at your face?
Lower or higher—a choice we're all free to make
Lower or higher—subjugate or educate?
They come marching in....
They represent a condition of man
So frail in the world
That he submits to a greater force
To be absolved and relieved...
…So the war rages on
