Presidents and peace spreading poets   Getting gunned down in the streets   Shown to us on our prime time screens   For our tea time treat   Lunatics we voted for denying   Everything that they swore   We sit around and shout about it   But we don't do nothing more      Drafted for police action   But they decided on a war   Telling us we were saving mankind   Why don't you ask cambodia   We were solving it with marijuana   We were sure that we could   Always leavin' it to someone else   Just knocking on wood      We're goin' back to the trenches   We're goin' back to the trenches      Well you say you got a say so   But you're knowin' that it ain't so   And you turn away   You think it's safer to ignore it   But the score is your children have to pay   Everybody wants better   Everybody talkin' 'bout it   Are we wastin' time   Gotta stop only lookin', talkin'   We're all guilty of the crime      We're goin' back to the trenches   We're goin' back to the trenches      We gotta move, we got everything to lose   We gotta move, we got everything to lose      We're all headed for the front   But everybody's fightin' for a good address   It's time we made the changes   Or we'll be burnin' with the rest   We just ain't communicatin' and I don't   Mean conversations on the telephone   When nero starts to fiddle this time   There's a lot more gonna burn than rome      We're goin' back to the trenches   We're goin' back to the trenches   We're goin' back to the trenches   We're goin' back to the trenches         (written by nazareth)   Copyright 1982 fool circle lusic limited   All rights reserved.   Lyrics used by permission   Reproduction prohibited
