Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Keep your head down
[Verse 2]
I
I want you
I want you to
I want you to march
Eyes gone right shoulder arms
Left wheel down show your charms
Change your clothes cut your hair
Ain't no joke ain't no place for kids
[Verse 3]
When the flags are high hear the battle cry
Treaty gone see the bandit fly
Dig that trench watch that blast
Shell-shock come, coming fast
Name and rank on parade
We might get laid by a hand grenade
Do you know what it means?
Do you know what it means?
[Verse 4]
This
Means
War
[Verse 5]
This means war
This means war
I said this means war
This means war
This means war
The bullet got your number on it
[Verse 6]
Run for cover
Hit the dirt
Call for your mother
[Verse 7]
I
I need you
I need you to
I need you to fire
Cock your gun wet your sights
Get the bull dead, dead to rights
Volunteer one pace back
On the beach
Ain't no place for kids
[Verse 8]
Well the flack is high on the bomber run
You don't talk back to an ack-ack gun
Fire rage and you're in a blitz
Keep your head or you're blown to bits
Name and rank on parade
Might get laid by a hand grenade
You know what it means
Do you know what it means?
[Verse 9]
This
Means
War
[Verse 10]
Who's down there is it friend or foe
Propaganda time on the radio
Top brass shout as they clown around
And peace talks die in Geneva town
Do you know what it means? (This means war)
Do you know what it means? (This means war)
Do you know what it means? (This means war)
Do you know what it means? (This means)
[Verse 11]
This means war
This means war
I said this means war
I said this means war
This means war
Where's the Seventh Calvary
[Verse 12]
This means war
Told you before
I said this means war
You know the score
I said this means war
This means war
[Verse 13]
This
Means
War
You're all dead
