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 !@!@&&
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
