Trained bodies in coordination   Is that a better way for bunker soldiers?   But it's a nicer way to spend a war      On lava beaches and sandy seaside   The rusting bodies are surplus now, then   We never taught them how to fight like that      The object's exercise is so compulsive   It's not a better way, but it still suits us   I'd give up rice fields to fight like you      It's not a better way   Though we are here to stay   Well, that might seem okay      Waves of people in strange directions   It's no use talking, there's no decisions   They gave up houses to be refugees      The mud in ditches is over their knees   The sand-bagged trenches are over our heads   This kind of warfare's become hide and seek      Though khaki uniforms are universal   Your propaganda is losing appeal   I'd give up rice fields to fight like you      I'd give up rice fields to fight like you   I'd give up rice fields to fight like you   I'd give up rice fields to fight like you      It's not a better way   Though we are here to stay   Well, that might seem okay
