Terrorists kill tourists
We blame our neighbor
They ask for evidence
We say there’s evidence
We go bomb that country
They come bomb our country
We claim we hit terrorists
They claim we hit civilians
They bomb our civilians
We bomb their civilians
They claim they repulsed our attack
We claim we repulsed their attack
Our media says we destroyed them
Their media claims they destroyed us
We order more weapons
They order more weapons
Stocks of weapon companies soar
Wealth of both countries dip
Soldiers of both countries die
Poor of both countries suffer
War ends
We claim victory
They claim victory
Pure, unadulterated madness
