War Buddies

Let's be war buddies,
Waist deep in big muddies, side by side,
I'd be the atheist in your foxhole, any time.

Let's be friendly fire,
Body counts a mountain,
On a bed of barbed wire, coldly stacked,
As soon as the morning light has broken,
Then we attack,
If nobody tries too hard to kill you.

I got your back across the desert,
Back to brave the burning sand,
Back to question every effort,
Back to challenge your command,
If you got guns, well,
Now's the time for sticking,
Resistance is already forming,
The second shot won't be a warning.

Let's be collateral damage,
Looking down your nose,
Like it's the best you can manage just to stand,
Indignity after indignation,
The threat of a hostile occupation,
The better to form a sovereign nation,
Here's the plan.

Let every man who disagrees,
Be roughly brought down to his knees,
Be starved to death and made to freeze,
And sentenced to the Gulag,
If you got guns, well,
Now's the time for sticking,
Resistance is already forming,
The second shot won't be a warning.

When the tanks roll into Warsaw,
Will I find you at the front,
Singing into a tape recorder,
Shouldering the brunt of the attack?
Has it come to that?
Has it come to that?
Has it come to that?
Has it come to that?
