  • Look alive, break aside, draw a line in the sand
    Here's the band: treat us like we're extras, we're not epic
    Treat us like we're not on our boots
    You leave us on the stretches where the credits roll

    The king will simply build institutes
    We are a part team military muscles
    Tell ourselves we're the part of a soul
    Smashing regimes between (???) challenging
    Education, education and war

    We're gonna need a lot more cannons
    If we gonna be out by Christmas
    We're gonna need a lot more cannons
    If we gonna be out by Christmas

    I know, I know, if you wanna know,
    If you wanna see your face again
    I know we feel the same way

    And making all the difficult decisions, to follow
    Petitions on children first
    How about a person of position, you say
    You will be happy if you expect the worst
    Armor, paper strolls and a Bible,
    So going out across apartment stores
    You will be issued with a rifle on arrival, champs
    Education, education and war

    We're gonna need a lot more cannons
    If we gonna be out by Christmas
    We're gonna need a lot more cannons
    If we gonna be out by Christmas

    I know, I know, if you wanna know,
    If you wanna see your face again
    I know we feel the same way

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Show us the way to go
    And let heaven help us
    Show us the way to go
    Save our souls
    Show us the way back home
    Save our souls
    Show us the way to go Writer/s: Andrew Robert White, Charles Richard Wilson, Fraser Lance Thornycroft Smith, James Rix, Nicholas Baines
