We sell 'em missiles, We sell 'em tanks We give 'em credit, You can call up the bank It's just a business, You can pay us in crude (That's oil you know...) 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, whose gonna pay I want to talk to the man right away
We walk the highwire Sending men to the front line Hoping they don't catch the hell-fire Of hot guns and cold, cold lies
We walk the highwire Sending the men up to the front lines And tell 'em to hotbed the sunshine With hot guns and cold, cold lies
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 gonna send in the 82nd Airborne

We sell 'em missiles, We sell 'em tanks
We give 'em credit, You can call up the bank
It's just a business, You can pay us in crude
(That's oil you know...)
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, whose gonna pay
I want to talk to the man right away
We walk the highwire
Sending men to the front line
Hoping they don't catch the hell-fire
Of hot guns and cold, cold lies
We walk the highwire
Sending the men up to the front lines
And tell 'em to hotbed the sunshine
With hot guns and cold, cold lies
Our lives are threatened, our jobs at risk
Sometimes dictators need a slap on the wrist
Another Munich we just can't afford
