Look alive
Pick a side
Draw a line
In the sand
You're just the band
 
    D                                 C
They treat us like we're extras in an epic
 
     D                                   C
They treat us like we're mud on their boots
 
     Bb                                  C
They leave us on the stretchers when the credits roll
 
  D                        C
Retreating safely to institutes
 
             D                C
Where dinner party military forces
 
          D                            C
Toast themselves with the blood of us all
 
Bb                         C
Smashing regimes between courses
 
            D                     C
Chanting education, education and war
 
 
A  G
     We're gonna need a lot more cannons

Put politicians and children first
 
Bb                            C
Followed by their personal physicians who say
 
            D                       C
You will be happy if you expect the worst
 
           D                  C
Armed with paper straws and a bible
 
                D
Lamps are going out across

Show us the way back home
Save our souls

The Occupation
The Occupation
 
The occupation of Damnation Eternal
Decreed by Commander in Chief
Won by the infantry, led by the Colonel
Came at costs that would beggar belief
As they marched upon the inferno
And the infidels dropped to their knees
Millions of civilians crammed in pavilions
Came to watch it on big screen TVs
The population of Damnation Eternal
Went from millions to thousands to one
The survivor then wrote in his journal
"Why on Earth did it take them so long?"
Within weeks we constructed a pipeline
Within years we'll have run the place dry
It'll just about last us our lifetime
So it's hip hip hoorays and high fives
On the factory floor there's a whisper
We built cannons before it began
But the engines still pumping its piston
And the turbine still whirring its fan
The assembly line spits out the surplus
Into purpose built lead lined white vans
Rockets stockpile as ministry workers
Fill their pockets with all that they can
Secret meetings are held in the senate
What to do with this excess supply
There's a plan to abandon the planet
One V.I.P at a time
So we get up each day and have breakfast
Read the news and the weather forecast
As we sit and we open our letters
And we pray that it won't be our last
