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 You'll love these toys, just go play out your feuds We got no pride, don't care whose boots we lick We act so greedy, makes me sick, sick, sick
So get up, stand up, out of my way I wanna talk to the boss right away Get up, stand up, who's gonna pay I wanna talk to the man right away
We walk the highwire sending the men to the frontline Hoping they don't catch the hellfire Of hot guns and cold, cold nights We walk the high wire, sending the men to the frontlines Tell 'em to pipe in the sunshine With hot guns and cold, cold nights
Our lives are threatened, our jobs at risk Sometimes dictators need a slap on the wrist Another Munich we just can't afford, we 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, out of my way I wanna talk to the man right away
We walk the highwire putting the world on a deadline Hoping we don't taste the shellfire Of hot guns and cold, cold nights We walk the highwire putting the world on a deadline Catching a bite on the prime time With hot guns and cold, cold nights
Get up, stand up Get up, stand up
We walk the highwire sending the men to the frontline And hoping that we back the right side With hot guns and cold, cold nights We walk the highwire sending the men into the frontline And hoping they don't catch the hellfire With hot guns and cold, cold, cold cold, cold nights
