The Dogs of War (Live at Nassau Coliseum, 19th-23rd August 1988)

[Instrumental until 1:03]

[Verse 1]

Dogs of war and men of hate

With no cause, we don’t discriminate

Discovery is to be disowned

Our currency is flesh and bone

Hell opened up and put on sale

Gather round and haggle

For hard cash we will lie and deceive

Even our Masters don’t know the webs we weave

[Hook]

One world, it’s a battleground

One world, and we will smash it down

One world… One world

One world… One world

[Verse 2]

Invisible transfers, long distance calls

Hollow laughter in marble halls

Steps have been taken, a silent uproar

Has unleashed the dogs of war

You can’t stop what has begun

Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion

We all have a dark side to say the least

And dealing in death is the nature of the beast

[Hook]

One world, it’s a battleground

One world, and they're gonna smash it down

One world… One world

One world… One world

[Verse 3]

The dogs of war don’t negotiate

The dogs of war won’t capitulate

They will take and you will give

And you must die so that they may live

You can knock at any door

But wherever you go, you know they’ve been there before

Well winners can lose and things can get strained

But whatever you change you know the dogs remain

[Hook]

One world, it’s a battleground

One world, and we gonna smash it down

One world… One world
