War Buddies

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

Let's be friendly fire
Body count's mounting 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've 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 thread 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, made to freeze,
And sentenced to the gulag
If you've 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?
