Cannons |
| (Look alive |
| Pick a side |
| Draw a line |
| In the sand |
| You’re just the band) |
| They treat us like we’re extras in an epic |
| They treat us like we’re mud on their boots |
| They leave us on the stretchers when the credits roll |
| Retreating safely to institutes |
| Where dinner party military forces |
| Toast themselves with the blood of us all |
| Smashing regimes between curses |
| Chanting education, education and war |
| We’re gonna need a lot more cannons |
| We’re gonna need a lot more cannons |
| If you wanna be home by Christmas |
| If we gotta be home by Christmas |
| I know there is another way |
| If you want to see their face again |
| I know they feel the same way over there |
| They’re making all the difficult decisions |
| Politicians and children first |
| Followed by their personal physicians who say: |
| «You will be happy if you expect the worst» |
| Armed with paper straws and a bible |
| Lamps are going out across |
| department stores |
| You will be issued with a rifle |
| on arrival chaps |
| For education, education and war |
| We’re gonna need a lot more cannons |
| We’re gonna need a lot more cannons |
| If you wanna be home by Christmas |
| If we gotta be home by Christmas |
| I know there is another way |
| If you want to see their face again |
| I know they feel the same way over there |
| I know there is another way |
| If you want to see their face again |
| I know they feel the same way over there |
| Oh oh oh oh oh oh |
| Show us the way to go |
| Hell or heaven help us |
| Show us the way to go |
| Save our souls, show us the way back home |
| Save our souls, show us the way to go |
| (Quick time |
| Get in Line |
| Get Behind |
| The man in front |
| You’re the grunts) |
| (Look alive |
| Pick a side |
| Draw a line |
| In the sand |
| You’re just the band) |
| We’re gonna need a lot more cannons |
| We’re gonna need a lot more cannons |
| If you wanna be home by Christmas |
| If we gotta be home by Christmas |
| I know there is another way |
| If you want to see their face again |
| I know they feel the same way over there |
| I know there is another way |
| If you want to see their face again |
| I know they feel the same way over there |
| Hell or heaven help us |
