Nazareth - Back to The Trenches текст песни

Presidents and peace spreading poets

Getting gunned down in the streets

Shown to us on our prime time screens

For our tea time treat

Lunatics we voted for denying

Everything that they swore

We sit around and shout about it

But we dont do nothing more

Drafted for police action

But they decided on a war

Telling us we were saving mankind

Why dont you ask cambodia

We were solving it with marijuana

We were sure that we could

Always leavin it to someone else

Just knocking on wood

Were goin back to the trenches

Were goin back to the trenches

Well you say you got a say so

But youre knowin that it aint so

And you turn away

You think its safer to ignore it

But the score is your children have to pay

Everybody wants better

Everybody talkin bout it

Are we wastin time

Gotta stop only lookin, talkin

Were all guilty of the crime

Were goin back to the trenches

Were goin back to the trenches

We gotta move, we got everything to lose

We gotta move, we got everything to lose

Were all headed for the front

But everybodys fightin for a good address

Its time we made the changes

Or well be burnin with the rest

We just aint communicatin and I dont

Mean conversations on the telephone

When nero starts to fiddle this time

Theres a lot more gonna burn than rome

Were goin back to the trenches

Were goin back to the trenches

Were goin back to the trenches

Were goin back to the trenches
