We sell 'em missiles, We sell 'em tanks We give 'em credit, You can call up the bank It's just a business, You can pay us in crude (That's oil you know...) You'll love these toys, just go play out your feuds We got no pride, don't know whose boots to lick We act so greedy, makes me sick sick sick So get up, stand up, out of my way I want to talk to the boss right away Get up, stand up, whose gonna pay I want to talk to the man right away We walk the highwire Sending men to the front line Hoping they don't catch the hell-fire Of hot guns and cold, cold lies We walk the highwire Sending the men up to the front lines And tell 'em to hotbed the sunshine With hot guns and cold, cold lies Our lives are threatened, our jobs at risk Sometimes dictators need a slap on the wrist Another Munich we just can't afford We're gonna send in the 82nd Airborne Get up, stand up, who's gonna pay I wanna talk to the boss right away Get up, stand up, outta my way I wanna talk to the man right away We walk the highwire Putting the world out on a dead lie And hoping they don't taste the shell-fire Of hot guns and cold, cold lies We walk the highwire Putting the world out on a dead lie Catching the fight on a primetime With hot guns and cold, cold lies Get up! Stand up! Dealer! Stealer! Hey! We walk the highwire We're sending men to the front line And hoping that we backed the right side With hot guns and cold, cold lies We walk the highwire We sending the men up to the front lines And hoping they don't catch the hell-fire With hot guns and Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold lies .. We walk the highwire We walk the highwire With hot guns and cold, cold, cold lies. |
