Need More Bandages

[Verse 1]

Stockpiles of ammunition in wooden crates

Stenciled with exotic ports of call

White rags stuffing up glass jugs

Clean-burning over proof alcohol

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I did not seek out the mission

But the mission found me

Twenty-one years old

I mean to learn what it's like to be free

[Chorus]

We're gonna need

We're gonna need more bandages

We are gonna need

We're gonna need more bandages

[Verse 3]

Cheap overseas tobacco

Hidden treasures within

You can even smoke it if you're desperate

We do get desperate now and again

[Verse 4]

I am not the first to follow the plan

Just a cog in the machine

I'm just here to run interference

Dancing like a fly on the screen

[Chorus]

We're gonna need

We're gonna need more bandages

We are gonna need

We're gonna need more bandages

[Bridge]

More bandages, more shovels

When the shovels break

We've still got our fingernails

[Verse 5]

Why wait until tomorrow?

Victory awaits with the dawn

If we all get blown to pieces

We can leave a nasty mark when we're gone

[Verse 6]

I did not hunt down the moment

It found me in a dream

Struck down as a warning to the others

Nothing without my brothers

[Outro]

We're gonna need

We're gonna need more bandages

We are gonna need

We're gonna need more bandages
