Queen and country, freedom cry
God and glory, do or die
Propaganda, spin and lie
Who are you fighting for.
[Chorus]
You do the shooting - they do the looting
You do the killing - they do the drilling
You do the dying - they do the lying
All the way to the bank
You can hear them crying.
Sell the arms, suppress the truth
Create the fear, invent the proof
Wave the flag - don't tell the youth
Who they are fighting for.
[Chorus]
You do the shooting - they do the looting
You do the killing - they do the drilling
You do the dying - they do the lying
All the way to the bank
You can hear them crying.
Weapon dealing, profiteering
Country stealing, ethnic clearing
Assett stripping, oil dripping
Architects of war.
[Chorus]
You do the shooting - they do the looting
You do the killing - they do the drilling
You do the dying - they do the lying
All the way to the bank
You can hear them crying.
