Lyrics

The Guns Are Roaring
Frank Blades

[Chorus]
The guns are roaring with increasing ferocity,
[The guns are roaring with increasing ferocity]
The bombs are falling with increasing velocity,
[The bombs are falling with increasing velocity]

[Verse]
Cruise missiles hitting Freedom Square,
The howling of sirens cut through the air,
I'm just a college student looking for fun,
I never thought I'd need to pick up a gun.

[rpt Chorus]

[Verse]
Am I a boy or am I a man?
The chips are down; the shit hits the fan,
Joined the army and started patrolling,
I'll soon find out when the tanks roll in.

[rpt Chorus]

[Verse]
Bombing the hospitals, bombing the schools,
Power stations with atomic fuel,
Is this the end of my once proud nation?
Radioactive desolation,

[rpt Chorus]

[Insturmental]

[Bridge]
We're out of food and water,
Waiting in the shelters for someone to save us,
You can choose your friends,
But it seems you can't choose your neighbours.

[rpt Chorus]
