Guns And Sand

You can start a war that you might win
Convinced the other side might just give in
But you can start a war that you might lose
Sadly it goes either way and you don't get to choose
Still, march them out like heroes
Played out with a band
Target practice for the world
Boys with guns in holes dug in the sand
Technology is useless if you fight
Ghosts, against your military might
And once you give a name to all your fears
The beast is in the open with its hand upon the gears
Still, march them out like heroes
Played out with a band
Target practice for the world
Boys and girls in holes dug in the sand
Bombarded on all sides by T-divisions
And smiling lying stupid politicians
War can be the engine of your state
Or it can be the end of everything that you have made
March them out like heroes
Play them out with a band
Target practice for the world
Boys and girls in holes dug in the sand
So I hope that you can sleep okay at night
Whilst the sons of working men go out to fight
And daughters true and brave will soon be lost
I hope you are ashamed to truly calculate the cost
But march them out like heroes
Play them out with a band
Target practice for the world
Boys and girls with guns stuck in the sand
