Like the 'cost of war' line, which immediately suggested 'Thousands of Tombstones (Just Waiting For Names)' could be Jim's 'anti-war' song, instead of Braver/American Elegy?
How about:
'So long as there's fortunes in bullets & guns, we'll always be praying for daughters & sons
So long as the mongers feel nothing at all, they'll sharpen their hatred, go answer the call
And in the land of our Hummer, the 'black gold' is king, it's fucking absurd that we think such a thing
But as long as the devil's keep fanning the flames,
there'll be thousands of tombstones, just waiting for names
And as long as the devil's, keep fanning the flames
there'll be thousands of tombstones, just waiting for names'
