W e sell 'em missiles We sell 'em tanks
W e give 'em credit You can call the bank
I t's just a business You can pay us in crude
Y ou love these toys just go play out your feuds
G ot no pride don't know whose boots to lick
W e act so greedy makes me sick sick sick
G et up stand up whose gonna pay
I want to talk to the man right away
W e walk the hi ghwi re
Sending the men up to the fro nt line
Hoping they don't catch the he ll fire
With hot guns and co ld cold nights
We walk the hi ghwi re
Sending the men up to the fro nt line
And tell 'em to hotbed the su nshine
With hot guns and co ld cold nights
Our lives are threatened our jobs at risk
Sometimes dictators need a slap on the wrist
Another Munich we just can't afford
We're gonna send in the eighty-second airborne
Get up stand up who's gonna pay
I wanna talk to the boss right away
Get up stand up outta my way
I wanna talk to the man right away
We walk the highwire
Putting the world out on a deadline
And hoping they don't catch the shellfire
With hot guns and cold cold nights
We walk the highwire
Putting the world out on a deadline
Catching the bite on primetime
With hot guns and cold cold nights
Get up! Stand up!
Dealer! Stealer!
Hey!
We walk the highwire
We send all our men into the front lines
We're hoping that we backed the right side
With hot guns and cold cold nights
We walk the highwire
We send all the men up to the front lines
And hoping they don't catch the hellfire
With hot guns and cold cold cold cold
cold nights
We walk the highwire
We walk the highwire
With hot guns and cold cold cold nights
With hot guns and cold cold nights
