It's obvious to me that we're destructive
We're part of nature, not above it
Hate it or love it 
We're trying to survive by taking innocent lives
But see the war is in your mind and you ignore it all the time
Praying on your own kind
Walking a fine line between justice and the crime
Trapped in time
It's a ploy
Before we create we must destroy
Kill strangers for toys that we can't share
Life mimics art
The result is warfare

It's obvious to the Beatles and me 
We need to let it be
It's funny how friends become enemies
So forget what you know
Don't let your feelings show
In this never-ending loop the casualty is truth
So it seems nothing is changing 
The illusion keeps fading
And it's only getting clearer we're waging war against a mirror
Voicing our opinions with guns
Starting fires for fun to watch it burn like the Sun
What is done is done

It's obvious to me that we are hopeless
Repeating history because we're living in the moment
The evidence has shown
life is violent and violence is life
It doesn't matter if we teach our kids to fight
It's an inherent trait that we initiate
Some call it fate but we're really walking a straight line through a figure eight
Fighting against your own kin
Preaching peace while you sin
It's truly un-American 
It's a war you'll never win

Flags don't unite us
They divide us
Make your neighbors look like strangers
Though they're right beside us
Sacrificing what's not yours
Way off coarse
The enemy's breached our shores
Their ideals will be forced
That's why the rich send the poor to war

It's obvious to me that we are fucked
We're stuck in a rut
Bottoms up
Basically I've had enough
It's obvious to me there's no such thing as destiny
We are free to choose what is truth
Win or lose, it's up to you

Seven moves ahead the King's last words are said
With nowhere to go his days are at an end
White flag in his hand
He remembers that he's a man
Though he should've known all along that he'd die just like the pawns
So the pattern keeps repeating
There has to be a meaning
Predictable like the seasons
There has to be a reason why we choose to play this game
When the outcome's always the same
No one is to blame
There's no love without pain
No pride without shame
Everything must change
The pieces get rearranged
We're all deranged
Killing everything but time
The punishment is the crime
Everyone walks the line
The only gift is time

Flags don't unite us
They divide us
Make your neighbors look like strangers
Though they're right beside us
Sacrificing what's not yours
Way off coarse
The enemy's breached our shores
Their ideals will be forced
That's why the rich send the poor to war

It's obvious to me that we are fucked
We're stuck in a rut
Bottoms up
Basically I've had enough
It's obvious to me there's no such thing as destiny
We are free to choose what is truth
Win or lose, it's up to you

It's obvious to me that we are pawns
Mysteriously controlled to protect the King's lawn
So absurd
Rest assured, there's nowhere to go but forward
I don't know the plans
This war is out of my hands
All I know is where I stand

It's obvious to me that we're destructive
We're part of nature, not above it
Hate it or love it 
We're trying to survive by taking innocent lives
But see the war is in your mind and you ignore it all the time
Praying on your own kind
Walking a fine line between justice and the crime
Trapped in time
It's a ploy
Before we create we must destroy
Kill strangers for toys that we can't share
Life mimics art
The result is warfare

It's obvious to me that we are stuck
Face to face with the enemy
Time is almost up
Feel the rush as the whole world shakes
Counting on blind faith
High stakes
The game always ends with
Checkmate
