Lyrics Safe as Houses - Colosseum

Safe as Houses

They go to war with smiling faces
Smiling faces fresh from mum
Ask no questions, get told no lies
Learn to kill so no one dies
The daily targets are heaven sent
Nothing’s wrong, nothing’s meant to hurt so much
And all to keep us safe
As safe as houses
And then they’re in, embedded deep
Embedded in the broken streets
Radio calls to keep the faith
To keep from fear that ever creeps
The lottery tumbles, the die is cast
Friends will fall while you will last another day
And all to keep us safe
As safe as houses
For those who survive
The adventure of their lives
For those that pay the cost
It’s just paradise lost
They’re keeping us safe
Keeping the faith
Keeping us safe
Safe as houses
Safe as houses
Safe as houses
