| They said they would prevent a war
|
| To stop the sufferings for ever more
|
| No wars to fight no blood to shed
|
| But they were lying we’ll soon be dead
|
| And now you’re as good as dead
|
| And now you’re as good as dead
|
| The button is pushed it’s all begun
|
| Those alive there soon be none
|
| In the distance a yellow sun
|
| And still we pray for death to come
|
| And now you’re as good as dead
|
| And now you’re as good as dead
|
| The troops are out there on patrol
|
| Passing burnt lumps as they go
|
| My clothes are in shreds i can barely see
|
| Whilst all around is dead and disease
|
| And now you’re as good as dead
|
| And now you’re as good as dead
|
| I picture maggie in my mind
|
| Safe below she’s feeling fine
|
| She has no burns no torn off limbs
|
| She sits on her arse and play silly games
|
| And now you’re as good as dead
|
| And now you’re as good as dead |
