Lyrics They Mean Murder - Cock Sparrer

They Mean Murder

When I was young those stories took me in
Of G.I.Joe the comic macho man
They mean murder they mean murder
Disguised as fairytales
The hero never fails
They mean murder they mean murder
They wave their flags
They play their anthems loud
Teach men to kill then teach them to be proud
They mean murder they mean murder
The ticker tape parade
Hides all the waste they made
They mean murder they mean murder
When governments find that they can’t agree
They settle differences so easily
They mean murder they mean murder
Hysteria has spread
And it’s you who ends up dead
They mean murder they mean murder
Turn men into machines
Disguise the truth with dreams
They mean murder they mean murder
