Three dollar bombs a hundred thousand roads
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
You can't clear one before another re-loads
To ratchet up the ante again..
They're cheap and they're simple
And They're green and black
They'll take you right down on a one way track
We've gone so far now that we can't get back
And we still won't stop this train..
Footfall of a soldier,
Footfall of a child,
They don't know the difference
They're blind and mean and wild.
One hundred million and the wheels go round
Lunch in Geneva and the deals go done
We'll still have to fight a century from now
The battle's of a long gone war..
What do you with what's left behind
What can you grow in the fields of mine
What do you do when that's all you find you got
When you get back home.
They're only made for terror
They don't care who they harm,
Three dollars each to make 'em
And a thousand to disarm..
Three dollar bombs a 100 thousand more
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
You can't clear one before another reloads
To ratchet up the ante again..
They're cheap and they're simple
They're green and black
They'll take you right down on a one way track
We've gone so far now that we can't get back
And we still won't turn around…
[SOLO]
One hundred million still in the ground
Lunch in Geneva and the deals go down
They'll still have to fight a century from now
The Battle of a long time war…
From China to Angola
And Cambodia where they laid
With chips from Motorola
Made in the USA.
Three dollar bombs a 100 thousand more
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
You can't clear one before another reloads
To ratchet up the ante again.
They're cheap and they're simple
They're green and black
They'll take you right down on a one way track
We've gone so far now that we can't get back
And we still won't stop this train
(Stop this train!)
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
You can't clear one before another re-loads
To ratchet up the ante again..
They're cheap and they're simple
And They're green and black
They'll take you right down on a one way track
We've gone so far now that we can't get back
And we still won't stop this train..
Footfall of a soldier,
Footfall of a child,
They don't know the difference
They're blind and mean and wild.
One hundred million and the wheels go round
Lunch in Geneva and the deals go done
We'll still have to fight a century from now
The battle's of a long gone war..
What do you with what's left behind
What can you grow in the fields of mine
What do you do when that's all you find you got
When you get back home.
They're only made for terror
They don't care who they harm,
Three dollars each to make 'em
And a thousand to disarm..
Three dollar bombs a 100 thousand more
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
You can't clear one before another reloads
To ratchet up the ante again..
They're cheap and they're simple
They're green and black
They'll take you right down on a one way track
We've gone so far now that we can't get back
And we still won't turn around…
