Lyrics

Wwiii

World War III
Between you and me
Under sheets
The land and the sea

And everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody wants a piece of the action

Don't bore us
Get to the chorus
There's so much more to come
The battle's back in the saddle
Just turn your back and run
Away from the guns
Away from the guns

World War II
Was good for me and you
It was won
Despite World War I

And everybody got a piece of the action
Everybody got a piece of the action

Don't bore us
Get to the chorus
There's no more blood to run
They're gearing up for a beating
Just face the hills and run
Away from the guns
Away from the guns

The times we live in are very unforgiving
Run away, run away, run away
The times we live in are very unforgiving
Run away, run away, run away

The times we live in are very unforgiving
Run away, run away, run away
The times we live in are very unforgiving
Run away, run away, run away
