|
When they sell the final weapon, we can all watch it blow
|
Keep the people working, working
|
Keep the people working, working
|
Keep the people working, working
|
Gotta keep the people working
|
|
In the bed of iron they cast the final weapon
|
Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working
|
|
From the mines of Anatolia to the isle of Mandalay
|
Along the coast of sullen Africa, they're queuing up to pay
|
No cause, I don't discriminate, I sell to those who buy
|
There never was an innocent who didn't want to die
|
And with demand upon the increase what could keep the cost down
|
If I keep the people fighting, I can really go to town
|
No surprise, the cash you borrow, we can close the deal tomorrow
|
Just Swiss francs or dollars won't cause me any borrow, boy
|
|
In a bed of iron they cast the final weapon
|
Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working
|
In a bed of iron they cast the final weapon
|
Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working
|
|
Everybody itching for someone to serve the task
|
I'll arm the politician for the coup, the crew, the cast,
|
I have a score of different faces, I can look like a lord
|
Seen in high places, flying on the Concorde
|
|
Well you can marvel at precision, you can dial a telephone
|
Call up color vision from the safety of your home
|
You can mount the great offensive from a button by the chair
|
If you arm the right system, you can ionize the air
|
|
In a bed of iron, they cast the final weapon
|
Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working
|
In a bed or iron they cast the final weapon
|
Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working
|
Like the wind across the frontier or the breaking light of day
|
I push across the mountains, all around the Bay of Biscay
|
|
Freeze in North America, boil in Pakistan
|
All along the amazon, from the fire to the frying pan
|
|
Whether air, sea or battle ground, desert sand or snow
|
When they sell the final weapon we can all watch it blow
|
|
