Rolling like thunder To a place eight thousand miles away With just as many men strong Fascismo jumper Your conscripts will fall as our prey They can't deny us of our victory Who made the blunder That's what we're hearing every day I think they 're getting it wrong It makes you wonder Why we all have to stay It's not as if we're changing history I don't really think They knew what they were doing here It's not a case of knowing who is wrong or right Now get out there boy and fight Your fathers gladly walked half way 'round the world for you One thing they overlooked and it's just one vital fact They didn't realize that we'd come fighting back... Just like something from hell Just like something from hell Just like something from... hell Fascismo jumper is content with lighting up the sky While we shoot everything down The pressure that they are under when all the shells and bullets fly It's hard enough to keep their sanity No set of values can apply when all these men die Just help them into the ground There's nothing left for them to lose But at least they had a good try So say goodbye to all humanity I don't really think They knew what they were doing here It's not a case of knowing who is wrong or right Now get out there boy and fight Your fathers gladly walked half way 'round the world for you One thing they overlooked and it's just one vital fact They didn't realize that we'd come fighting back... Just like something from hell Just like something from hell Just like something from... hell Rolling like thunder To a place eight thousand miles away With just as many men strong Fascismo jumper Your conscripts will fall as our prey They can't deny us of our victory Who made the blunder That's what we're hearing every day I think they 're getting it wrong It makes you wonder Why they did it anyway It's not as if they're making history I don't really think They knew what they were doing here It's not a case of knowing who is wrong or right Now get out there boy and fight Your fathers gladly walked half way 'round the world for you One thing they overlooked and it's just one vital fact They didn't realize that we'd come fighting back... Just like something from hell Just like something from hell Just like something from hell Just like something from hell Just like something from... hell Just like something from hell Just like something from hell Just like something from hell Just like something from hell Just like something from hell

It's been a long time since my last letter from home My mind is elsewhere, I'm soaking wet and cold to the bone With the threat of an aerial attack, can't waste time getting bored I'm sniper hunting, my orders are not to be ignored... What is going on? Where did that shot come from? Square bashing with my pack and drill... If a bullet don't get ya then the dysentery will Hot lead, hot lead Hot lead, hot lead... hot lead, cold steel It seems years since I saw something resembling my wife I could be here for a term, that could turn into life I could get out and I could take a chance, once I could ill afford I still can't remember my first son or what he was called, yeah What is going on? Where did that shot come from? Square bashing with full pack and drill... If a bullet don't get ya then the dysentery will Hot lead, hot lead Hot lead, hot lead... hot lead, cold steel I've been thinking where has it all gone? I've seen people happy, I tell ya, I want some I've made people laugh and I made them cry But I wish I'd never been born I got my discharge, my exit, so fill out the form, yeah What is going on? Where did that shot come from? Square bashing with full pack and drill... If a bullet don't get ya then the dysentery will Hot lead, hot lead Hot lead, hot lead... hot lead, cold steel Hot lead, hot lead Hot lead, hot lead

Now living here just ain't good enough For those of you wearing red ties Just you breathing makes our leaders rush To the shelters still watching the skies I'll feed off your vilest dreams It's not as bad as it seems It's now or never As I'm left with these mouths to feed I wanna see all those rivers bleed Do you know just what this means...war! They think that we don't know what's going on With all their satellite ski spies It don't matter where they're coming from Do we still have to give up our lives? I'll feed off your vilest dreams It's not as bad as it seems It's now or never As I'm left with these mouths to feed I wanna see all those rivers bleed Do you know just what this means...war! This means war This means war This means war This means war This means war This means war Get out of my way mother... Don't it seem stupid that we're sitting here And soon there'll be nothing left We can't go on pretending that we're unaware And laughing in the face of death I'll feed off your vilest dreams It's not as bad as it seems It's now or never As I'm left with these mouths to feed I wanna see all those rivers bleed Do you know just what this means...war! This means war This means war This means war This means war This means war This means war This means war

Through the smoke I clearly see I don't know I've seen things you won't believe, at twenty below I will not be defeated, not while I'm still breathing By you or by anyone And with the way I'm treated, behind the back scheming I've waited so long, I've waited so long... Apparently I should be glad, you told me so Have you ever felt that you've been had, and you didn't know I will not be defeated, not while I'm still breathing By you or by anyone And with the way I'm treated, behind the back scheming I've waited so long, I've waited so long... I'm laughing in the face of death, laughing , laughing... I'm laughing in the face of death, laughing , laughing... All this is such a part of me, or doesn't it show You realize I'm not built for speed, but I sure ain't slow I will not be defeated, not while I'm still breathing By you or by anyone And with the way I'm treated, behind the back scheming I've waited so long, I've waited so long... I'm laughing in the face of death, laughing , laughing... I'm laughing in the face of death, laughing , laughing... Through the smoke I clearly see someone I don't know I've seen things you won't believe, at twenty below I will not be defeated, not while I'm still breathing By you or by anyone And with the way I'm treated, behind the back scheming I've waited so long, I've waited so long... I'm laughing in the face of death, laughing , laughing... I'm laughing in the face of death, laughing , laughing... I'm laughing in the face of death, laughing , laughing... I'm laughing in the face of death, laughing , laughing...

Do you really believe everything you hear or read So easily deceived, there's no excuse for their sheer greed You're hot, but not too hot to handle... You're not just what they want you to be My feet are on solid ground You can't pull the wool over my eyes You don't know what I've found I've got you such a nice surprise They'll never get my sound They failed but at least they've tried You don't own me, you'll never get me... If we go, we'll go down fighting If we go, we'll go down fighting If we go, we'll go down fighting If we go, we'll go down fighting If we go, we'll go down fighting If we go, we'll go down fighting If we go, we'll go down fighting If we go, we'll go down fighting Do you really believe everything you hear or read So easily deceived, there's no excuse for their sheer greed You're hot, but not too hot to handle...

If we go, we'll go down fighting If we go, we'll go down fighting If we go, we'll go down fighting If we go, we'll go down fighting

Well it's time to start the weekend, time to come alive Leave it at the office, just leave that shit behind Don't they ever notice what is going on? Don't they realize where it all comes from? It's just me and Razzle, and no one around How do the hooray Henrys get more to the pound? I see this light shining, with nowhere to go She says she wants to go...slow Let it roll... if nothing else, I'd be a happy man Let it roll... I couldn't handle more than one on the side How could I be so snide I won't ever let you down... I won't ever let you down... I won't ever let you down... I won't ever let you down... Well I'm prowling like a hunter and teasing like a cat There's one thing on the menu, she won't be getting back They always look much better when they're in the dark They always try it on when you've got nowhere to park She just a dumb no one with some time to kill I feel like jumping out the nearest window, still I see the light shining with nowhere to go She says she wants to go down slow... Let it roll... if nothing else, I'd be a happy man Let it roll... I couldn't handle more than one at a time How could I be so snide I won't ever let you down... I won't ever let you down... I won't ever let you down... I won't ever let you down... I ain't gonna ever let you down How could I be so snide I won't ever let you down... I can't handle more than one at a time I won't ever let you down...

Flame on! They're coming down from the hills Attacking from both sides... They're closing in for the kill It's only a matter of time... We're running out of ammo fast We must stand at the line, every man to the last They're all around us, so no get away Each and every hour, it goes on all day Use the blade and run them through... With no shot left, what else can we do Where are they coming from? Echoes of a distant battle... echoes Echoes of a distant battle... echoes They're saluting us as warriors There's hardly a man alive... They disappear in a cloud of dust And attack for the last time... We're running out of ammo fast We must stand at the line, every man to the last They're all around us, so no get away Each and every hour, it goes on all day Use the blade and run them through... with no shot left, what else can we do Where are they coming from? Echoes of a distant battle... echoes Echoes of a distant battle... echoes They came down from the hills Attacked from both sides They closed in for the kill Hit us for the last time We're running out of ammo fast We must stand at the line, every man to the last They're all around us, so no get away Each and every hour, it goes on all day Use the blade and run them through... With no shot left, what else can we do Where are they coming from? Echoes of a distant battle... echoes Echoes of a distant battle... echoes.
