Safe Below

They said they would prevent a war To stop the sufferings for ever more No wars to fight no blood to shed But they were lying we'll soon be dead And now you're as good as dead And now you're as good as dead The button is pushed it's all begun Those alive there soon be none In the distance a yellow sun And still we pray for death to come And now you're as good as dead And now you're as good as dead The troops are out there on patrol Passing burnt lumps as they go My clothes are in shreds i can barely see Whilst all around is dead and disease And now you're as good as dead And now you're as good as dead I picture maggie in my mind Safe below she's feeling fine She has no burns no torn off limbs She sits on her arse and play silly games And now you're as good as dead And now you're as good as dead
