Of course war creates jobs

Of course war creates jobs:
People who lie for a living,
and people who die for a living.
Both are in high demand/
Like a marine band/
Or an honor guard/
Next to the 'Nam diggers/
Working hard/
In the graveyard/
Blowing bugles, firing rounds/
Simulating real war sounds/
Somber notes on hallow bounds/
Justified on shallow grounds/
And so the monied market waits/
For these fine jobs that war creates...
