collateral damage
that's who you are
as their quest goes on and on
collateral damage
bad luck so far
so sad you're dead and gone
         
collateral damage
describes you well
that's who you're apt to be
collateral damage
the quest's faux pas
their ruin and their soiree
         
collateral damage
why don't you see
depends where you were born
collateral damage
you're expendible
dead, ok, you're foreign
         
collateral damage 
can't apply to you
it's not the US way
collateral damage
you're heroes
you're from the the USA

the axis
                  
have you seen 'the axis'
it's a movie of repute
nominated everywhere
the actors really cute
         
yes I saw it once in forty two
even then quite hard to beat
yes here it is I'll play it
excuse the crackly repeat

         billions for a war
                  
It's gonna cost a billion bucks for each week we fight the war!
It's not so steep as it sounds m'boy; I'll let you know the score
In my weapons factory where we save the world and you
we've got more dunny paper than order sheets to do
you see the last ten years' production's sold and 
there's nothing on the floor
all purchased by the government and sitting in their store
         
so they already own it so it won't cost them a cent
and there's not a ballistic missile without a regiment
and as for all those service guys do you think without this war
that they'd be raiding garbage bins no salary to draw?
         
no, this war's a cheap war, just a swoosh on a balance sheet
weapons made, the army's paid, and it all seems really neat
excuse me now I have to go 'cause George is calling back
I'm waiting for some orders to help take up the slack

we report you decide
                  
         
New York, New York

I might die
                  
I might die
doesn't seem to bother a soldier
I might die
seems to bother me
         
I will die
unexamined by a soldier
I will die
doesn't bother me

         
         bully ballyhoo & silly
                  
two bad guys on a platform
one for allah and one free for all
and a far-seeing man speaks of foresight
yet suggests it's a black and white call
         
the mention of one hiroshima
and the blatant plunder of oil
enter potions that underscore cyclops
sacred magic's removed from the boil
         
the boy in short pants who can't think right
affords mild response from the wings
whose journos have whitewashed any impact
with 'mandela says some darned silly things'
