[Verse 1]
There's a terrorist, he's at the door
Says he's gonna start the third world war
Justifies his illegal acts
This land he says that's his, he's takin' it back

[Chorus 1]
Blood will spill in desert sand
The people kill, barbaric land
A war for peace, I understand
Obtain the fuel, the master plan
Blood will spill in desert sand
The people kill, barbaric land
A war for peace, I understand
Obtain the fuel, the master plan

[Post-Chorus 1]
All my life I've spent believin' what I'm told
"I'm not a crook, I don't recall," excuse is getting old
But this time I believe that the cause is justified
So those who burn the flag should be hung until they die
I'm sorry about the casualties you can't avoid in war
They knew what they were doin' when they signed up for the chore
And to all the people who protest aggressive act
The world's not a happy place, a sad but true fact
[Verse 2]
Now they find our allies far and wide
Though now a force of one, they will not be denied
When will they finally realize
Our taxes pay for war and that's no surprise?

[Chorus 2]
The strong survive in desert sand
They know their fine, barbaric land
We're civilized, I understand
Restoring light, the master plan
The strong survive in desert sand
They know their fine, barbaric land
We're civilized, I understand
Restoring light, the master plan

[Post-Chorus 2]
Most of the times I spent believing everything I was told
All those excuses, you know, the ones that are getting old
But this time I believe that the cause is justified
So all those people that burn the flag should be hung until they die
Yeah, I'm sorry about the casualties and the people dying in the war
But they knew what they were getting into, man, when they signed up for the chore
And to all the people, you know, the ones who protested what went on
This world ain't a happy place and this ain't a happy song
[Bridge]
Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
Some terrorist, he's at the door
Says he's gonna start the third world war
Justifies his illegal acts
This land he says that's his, yeah, he's takin' it back

[Outro]
Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire
