Текст песни: Back to the Trenches + перевод

Presidents and peace spreading poets

Getting gunned down in the streets

Shown to us on our prime time screens

For our tea time treat

Lunatics we voted for denying

Everything that they swore

We sit around and shout about it

But we don’t do nothing more

Drafted for police action

But they decided on a war

Telling us we were saving mankind

Why don’t you ask Cambodia

We were solving it with marijuana

We were sure that we could

Always leavin' it to someone else

Just knocking on wood

We’re goin' back to the trenches

We’re goin' back to the trenches

Well you say you got a say so

But you’re knowin' that it ain’t so

And you turn away

You think it’s safer to ignore it

But the score is your children have to pay

Everybody wants better

Everybody talkin' 'bout it

Are we wastin' time

Gotta stop only lookin', talkin'

We’re all guilty of the crime

We’re goin' back to the trenches

We’re goin' back to the trenches

We gotta move, we got everything to lose

We gotta move, we got everything to lose

We’re all headed for the front

But everybody’s fightin' for a good address

It’s time we made the changes

Or we’ll be burnin' with the rest

We just ain’t communicatin' and I don’t

Mean conversations on the telephone

When Nero starts to fiddle this time

There’s a lot more gonna burn than Rome

We’re goin' back to the trenches

We’re goin' back to the trenches

We’re goin' back to the trenches

We’re goin' back to the trenches
