(heaton/rotheray) |
|
'i fought hard in the second world war' |
|
You hear them shout |
|
No good bragging about the afrika korps |
|
It was beadle's about |
|
They dressed you up and took you off to world war one |
|
Armed you and surrounded you with wire |
|
Sat in stinking mud you sung your stupid songs |
|
And waited till they told you when to fire |
|
Cause the rulers always laugh |
|
At a video bloodbath |
|
Nothing makes them laugh |
|
Like a video bloodbath |
|
From the first world war to the yom-kippur |
|
It was beadle's about |
|
The bayonets slice, the rockets roar |
|
And he jumps out |
|
Fond memories of the bloody bridge you failed to hold |
|
Many of your buddies killed or maimed |
|
You would've shot at rabbits if that's what you'd been told |
|
Till the general said 'i'm sorry you've been framed' |
|
Cause the rulers always laugh |
|
At a video bloodbath |
|
And nothing gets a laugh |
|
Like a video bloodbath |
|
Chorus: |
|
Keep those entries coming |
|
Leave those cameras running |
|
Keep those entrails coming |
|
Leave those soldiers gunning |
|
Because you're sure to get a laugh |
|
With a video bloodbath |
|
Nothing gets a laugh |
|
Like a video bloodbath |
|
Here's a wacky video we got last week |
|
A bomb catches arthur unawares |
|
He's lost both his arms and he can't see or speak |
|
But thank you for the memory you shared |
|
Cause the rulers always laugh |
|
At a video bloodbath |
|
And nothing gets a laugh |
|
Like a video bloodbath |
|
Chorus |
