Back to the Trenches |
| Presidents and peace spreading poets |
| Getting gunned down in the streets |
| Shown to us on our prime time screens |
| For our tea time treat |
| Lunatics we voted for denying |
| Everything that they swore |
| We sit around and shout about it |
| But we don’t do nothing more |
| Drafted for police action |
| But they decided on a war |
| Telling us we were saving mankind |
| Why don’t you ask Cambodia |
| We were solving it with marijuana |
| We were sure that we could |
| Always leavin' it to someone else |
| Just knocking on wood |
| We’re goin' back to the trenches |
| We’re goin' back to the trenches |
| Well you say you got a say so |
| But you’re knowin' that it ain’t so |
| And you turn away |
| You think it’s safer to ignore it |
| But the score is your children have to pay |
| Everybody wants better |
| Everybody talkin' 'bout it |
| Are we wastin' time |
| Gotta stop only lookin', talkin' |
| We’re all guilty of the crime |
| We’re goin' back to the trenches |
| We’re goin' back to the trenches |
| We gotta move, we got everything to lose |
| We gotta move, we got everything to lose |
| We’re all headed for the front |
| But everybody’s fightin' for a good address |
| It’s time we made the changes |
| Or we’ll be burnin' with the rest |
| We just ain’t communicatin' and I don’t |
| Mean conversations on the telephone |
| When Nero starts to fiddle this time |
| There’s a lot more gonna burn than Rome |
| We’re goin' back to the trenches |
| We’re goin' back to the trenches |
| We’re goin' back to the trenches |
| We’re goin' back to the trenches |
