War TV

There's a war on the TV In a town called the world And the suits turn their profit While the mayhem unfurls They're all quick to make war But they won't send their sons Shout the odds like a gangster But they won't hold a gun And I'm no' scared of dying I'll fight any man I might no' be the strongest But I'll do what I can And I'm no' that religious But if God's got a plan Then I don't think it's bombing In a far away land And there's no use pretending that you don't understand With your arse in the air and your head in the sand You don't need me tell you that's the way that it goes Because deep down inside Way deep down inside You already know (If you are not close to home when you hear the warning Go to the nearest safe cover Know where you are to go or ask an older person for help You know the places marked with the "S" sign Those are safe places to go when you hear the alarm) I don't mean to offend Or add fuel to the fire We're all stood in silence While the head count gets higher There's divided opinion Every corner you turn Now Nero stands laughing While the Empire burns And there's no use pretending that you don't understand With your arse in the air and your head in the sand You don't need me tell you that's the way that it goes Because deep down inside Way deep down inside You already know (Paul and Patty would have covered this way, like this girl Heavy doorways are a good place to duck and cover She will be safer too Here's Tony going to his cub scout meeting Tony knows the bomb can go off any time of the year Day or night) There's a race to the finish From the east to the west 'Cause we're all waking up now Where there's some try their best To divide us and conquer Like chickens and cows On the animal farm As the sun's going down And there's no use pretending that you don't understand With your arse in the air and your head in the sand You don't need me tell you that's the way that it goes Because deep down inside Way deep down inside Way deep down inside Way deep down inside (deep down inside) You already know --- War TV - Gerry Cinnamon
