Highwire |
| We sell them missiles, We sell them tanks |
| We give them credit, You can call up the bank |
| It’s just a business, You can pay us in crude |
| You’ll love these toys, just go play out your feuds |
| We got no pride, don’t know whose boots to lick |
| We act so greedy, makes me sick sick sick |
| So get up, stand up, out of my way |
| I want to talk to the boss right away |
| Get up, stand up, who’s gonna pay? |
| I want to talk to the man right away |
| We walk the highwire |
| Sending the men to the front-line |
| And hoping they don’t catch the hell-fire |
| Of hot guns and cold, cold knives |
| We walk the highwire |
| Sending the men to the front lines |
| And tell them to hotbed the sunshine |
| With hot guns and cold, cold knives |
| Our lives are threatened, our jobs at risk |
| Sometimes dictators need a slap on the wrist |
| Another Munich we just can’t afford |
| We’re going to send in the 82nd Airborne |
| Get up, stand up, who’s gonna pay? |
| I want to talk to the boss right away |
| So get up, stand up, out of my way |
| I want to talk to the man right away |
| We walk the highwire |
| Putting the world out on a deadline |
| And hoping we don’t taste the shell-fire |
| Of hot guns and cold, cold knives |
| We walk the highwire |
| Putting the world out on a deadline |
| Catching the fight on primetime |
| With hot guns and cold, cold knives |
| Get up! |
| Stand up! |
| Dealer! |
| Stealer! |
| Hey! |
| We walk the highwire |
| Sending the men to the front line |
| And hoping that we backed the right side |
| With hot guns and cold, cold knives |
| We walk the highwire |
| Sending men to the front line |
| And hoping they don’t catch the hell-fire |
| With hot guns and cold, cold, cold, cold, cold knives |
| We walk the highwire |
| With hot guns and cold, cold, cold knives |
