INTRO:

VERSE:
G
We sell 'em missiles, We sell 'em tanks
C
We give 'em credit, You can call the bank
G
It's just a business, You can pay us in crude
C
You love these toys, just go play out your feuds
G
Got no pride, don't know whose boots to lick
C
We act so greedy, makes me sick sick sick
BREAK:
(PLAY INTRO OVER THESE WORDS)
So get up, stand up, out of my way
I want to talk to the boss right away
(PLAY INTRO OVER THESE WORDS)
Get up, stand up, whose gonna pay
I want to talk to the man right away
CHORUS:
G C G
We walk the highwire
D
Sending the men up to the front line
C
Hoping they don't catch the hell fire
D
With hot guns and cold, cold nights
C G
We walk the highwire
D
Sending the men up to the front line
C
And tell 'em to hotbed the sunshine
D
With hot guns and cold, cold nights
VERSE:
Our lives are threatened, our jobs at risk
Sometimes dictators need a slap on the wrist
Another Munich we just can't afford
We're gonna send in the eighty-second airborne
BREAK:
Get up, stand up, who's gonna pay
I wanna talk to the boss right away
Get up, stand up, outta my way
I wanna talk to the man right away
CHORUS:
We walk the highwire
Putting the world out on a deadline
And hoping they don't catch the shellfire
With hot guns and cold, cold nights
We walk the highwire
Putting the world out on a deadline
Catching the bite on primetime
With hot guns and cold, cold nights
BREAK:
Get up! Stand up!
Dealer! Stealer!
Hey!
CHORUS:
We walk the highwire
We send all our men into the front lines
We're hoping that we backed the right side
With hot guns and cold, cold nights
We walk the highwire
We send all the men up to the front lines
And hoping they don't catch the hellfire
With hot guns and cold cold, cold, cold,
cold nights
We walk the highwire
We walk the highwire
With hot guns and cold, cold, cold nights
With hot guns and cold, cold nights
