One day, you came and told us of a threat to the fatherland
You said the enemy was strong and said that you needed all hands
I never heard of anything that sounded like what you mean
So I don't understand at all the reasons why I'd go fighting

But just give me a gun
And I'll get you done
You, lined up against a wall
Just a press on a button
And all of your problems
Would be solved for ever more

Just let me tell you I'm not gonna fight for your bullshit plans
I never understood how guns could resolve a simple problem
I say it's you, not me, who wants the cake from the ones in front
So go and get it by yourself, don't expect no action-station

Get your hands on a gun
And solve all your problems
And do it like men ought to
Stare them right in the eyes
And when you do fire
I hope it feels good for you

So today is the day I depart to the frontline
With all my friends gathered around, all ready to fight
We take a train to where blood has to be spilled
Many won't be back but, hey, they gave us cool pills

Proud of my country, proud of my colours, proud of my flag and proud of my ancestors

We fight them on the beaches, on the ground, in the air
We live in explosions lights, in mud, sweat and flare
I don't think we are cowards, but there's one answer missing:
Who will be next to meet his maker and not the next morning?

Blood on my country, blood on my colours, blood on my flag and blood on my ancestors

A year has passed and brought many friends to the crow king
But when you see the land we gained, it amounts to nothing
We shoot, then run for shelter, then stand and shoot again
It seems we killed the whole of'em, but never see the end

Shame on my country, shame on my colours, shame on my flag and shame on my ancestors

'Til one day, I got shot and I fell in the reeking mud
A shiny medal on my chest was the price you paid for my blood
You said duty was there in the path you showed to us, little chimps
Who were fucked up like I have been by a land that's just a pimp

But whatever fool I am
You don't give a damn
You are sleeping safe and sound
Sure enough of your right
To send us to die
For a worthless piece of ground
