(Look alive |
|
Pick a side |
|
Draw a line |
|
In the sand |
|
You're just the band) |
|
They treat us like we're extras in an epic |
|
They treat us like we're mud on their boots |
|
They leave us on the stretchers when the credits roll |
|
Retreating safely to institutes |
|
Where dinner party military forces |
|
Toast themselves with the blood of us all |
|
Smashing regimes between curses |
|
Chanting education, education and war |
|
We're gonna need a lot more cannons |
|
We're gonna need a lot more cannons |
|
If you wanna be home by Christmas |
|
If we gotta be home by Christmas |
|
I know there is another way |
|
If you want to see their face again |
|
I know they feel the same way over there |
|
They're making all the difficult decisions |
|
Politicians and children first |
|
Followed by their personal physicians who say: |
|
"You will be happy if you expect the worst" |
|
Armed with paper straws and a bible |
|
Lamps are going out across |
|
department stores |
|
You will be issued with a rifle |
|
on arrival chaps |
|
For education, education and war |
|
We're gonna need a lot more cannons |
|
We're gonna need a lot more cannons |
|
If you wanna be home by Christmas |
|
If we gotta be home by Christmas |
|
I know there is another way |
|
If you want to see their face again |
|
I know they feel the same way over there |
|
I know there is another way |
|
If you want to see their face again |
|
I know they feel the same way over there |
|
Oh oh oh oh oh oh |
|
Show us the way to go |
|
Hell or heaven help us |
|
Show us the way to go |
|
Save our souls, show us the way back home |
|
Save our souls, show us the way to go |
|
(Quick time |
|
Get in Line |
|
Get Behind |
|
The man in front |
|
You're the grunts) |
|
