lyrics

I walked through the desert in the Civil War
Wore the armour of a gladiator
And I ate the flesh of the Dead
Climbed up the mountain with a riddle in my head
And I need you now like I need you then
I got a Monkey on my back and a Fox in the den
I got my finger on the trigger of the red hot heat
Nose to the ground as they’re shuffling their feet

Chorus :
Shake it up
Until it falls down

I learned the tune of a Mercenary
I took all that my hands could carry
Drink now from my lips
All I need is another kiss
And meet me in the middle and leave me on the square
A hundred thousand problems but I just don’t care
Tempted by the darker side
Fooled by the truth of a temporary lie

Chorus

These are not the Droids that you’re looking for
We learned it all in the Art of War
This is how Liberty dies
In a room full of people giving thundering applause
We knew the price, we knew the cost
Now all the windows are filled with frost
They say war is over but that’s a joke
They just took another break to have another smoke

Chorus

They go bye bye bye
I see the Soldiers in the countryside
Tell my Mama she should go and hide

Because they go bye bye bye
I see the bodies in the countryside
All the dying made my Mama cry
