Lyrics

On the radio wave, they call call to the grave Is wrapped up in glory to fool the brave They tell a tall story of all those that gave All that they had for the freedom they'd save On the TV broadcast, they said it won't last All over by Sunday, consigned to the past The cleanup starts Monday despite the bomb blast A brand new beginning the die has been cast CHORUS There's plenty more where that came from Five megatons of oblivion Sent with love from the Pentagon On a laser guided Neutron Bomb But a satellite link said it's worse than they think They can't find the body, it's causing a stink The guy in the Oval is back on the drink And Uncle Sam's poodle's in need of a shrink It's been a full year, the famillies can cheer Their sons & their brothers are now in the clear The war is over, but it would appear That those left behind are all living in fear CHORUS Loot shoot, gunfire salute How many innocent die every day Loot shoot, gunfire salute Innocent die from the games that you play Deceit & deception, there's always some deception Like the unjust executions dat they forget to mention You stop, stare & wonder but a you mek di blunder Your enemies draw near wid di sound like rolling thunder Torture & detention, there's always some detention For the fall guy' the patsy, the one dem never mention You play your war games & play with innocent life You keep the dice rolling with elaborate lies Loot shoot, gunfire salute How many innocent die every day Loot shoot, gunfire salute Innocent die from the games that you play
