War Buddies

Let's be war buddies
Waist deep in big money side by side
I'd be the atheist in your foxhole, anytime

Let's be friendly fire body counts
A mountain on a bed of barbed wire
Coldly stashed 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 is 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

That 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 is 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?
