The War
(album: Red Alert)
I think it´s time we stopped
Worrying about the future
In due time we´ll all blow up
But it makes no difference to me
One day I ran into a man
Who served his time
Got purple hearts, wounded in Vietnam
He said war was made for the buck
And I believe every word he said:
"They´ll offer you the country
And you´re expendable what´s more
That´s what they call fighting.
What do you think world peace is for?"
War - look around, make yourself at home
The world´s in hibernation - let´s have a war
War - blow up the this town, I´ve been waitin´ for too long
The world´s in hibernation - let´s have a war
There´s a struggle that´s goin´ on
And there´s pressure to stay on top
When the economy starts to drop
War will bring the money in
A war is beautiful for all the money
A war is beautiful for overpopulation too
Bombs exploding, cannons loading
We´ll make the world a frying pan
We´ll all be playin´ on the beach with
Our atomic radiation suntan
