Was That What You Wanted (Look What You've Got)

(album: Kingmaker - 2016)

Whatever the agenda
Your cause was bound to fail
Death return to sender
A mindless quest is frail
Manufactured reasons
Whoever you'd defend
You released the demons
When you crashed the lion's den

And now we pay the price of failures in the past

Was that what you wanted look what you've got
Now the world is lying bleeding at your feet
The devil and the damage done
Was that what you wanted look what you've got
There's nothing here that glorifies your deeds
The battle rages on

You tried to save a nation
Now stained forevermore
Misjudged the situation
You spend more to kill the cure
Drew the wrong conclusions
All behind closed doors
The naked truth is always
The first casualty of war

And does it ever haunt you when you sleep at night

Was that what you wanted look what you've got
Now the world is lying bleeding at your feet
The devil and the damage done
Was that what you wanted look what you've got
There's nothing here that glorifies your deeds
The battle rages on

Roaming cross the desert lands
A roaring rampage of revenge
Bloodshed and disorder left behind
Hypocrisy money talks
You opened up Pandora's Box
And left a nation in decline
Can't change a cultural legacy
Nor implement democracy
With firepower and bullets flying
Daddies' boy mothers pride
Sacrificed, paid the price
For your deceptions and your lies

Now who are you to think that you
Could change the world

Was that what you wanted look what you've got
Now the world is lying bleeding at your feet
The devil and the damage done
Was that what you wanted look what you've got
There's nothing here that glorifies your deeds
The battle rages on
