Gang of Four - guns before butter

 
Gang of Four - guns before butter
(lyrics)
All this talk of blood and iron
Is the cause of all my shaking
All this talk of blood and iron
Is the cause of all my shaking
All this talk of blood and iron
Is the cause of all my shaking

All this talk of blood and iron
It's the cause of all my shaking
The fatherland's no place to die for
It makes me want to run out shaking
I hear some talk of guns and butter
That's something we can do without
If men are only blood and iron
O Doktor Doktor, what's in my shirt?

Just keep quiet, no room for doubt

I'm hearing talk of joy in labour
I'll tell you this you can leave me out
The motherland's no place to cry for
I want some sand to hide my head in
I'm hearing talk of strength in labour
That's something I can do without
If I'm only blood and iron
O Doktor Doktor, what's in my shirt

Just keep quiet, no room for doubt

All this talk of blood and iron
It's the cause of all my shaking
The fatherland's no place to cry for
It makes me want to run out shouting
I hear some talk of guns and butter
That's something I can do without
If men are only blood and iron
O Doktor Doktor, what's in my shirt?

Just keep quiet, no room for doubt  

Gang of Four - armalite rifle
(lyrics)
armalite rifle police and ira
armalite rifle use it everyday
breaks down easy fits into a pram
a child can carry it do it no harm
armalite rifle and the holy trinity
it's used against you for irish jokes and the bbc
armalite rifle please skew the aim
armalite rifle use it everyday
the rifle does harm it shoots for miles
if a bullet gets you in the heart destroys your insides
armalite rifle police duty eh?
armalite rifle use it everyday
it'll do you damage it'll do you harm
blow your legs off blow your guts out
i disapprove of it so does dave
it'll do you damage it'll do you damage
damage damage damage damage damage


Gang of Four - Capital (it fails us now)
(lyrics)
the moment I was born I opened my eyes
I reached out for my credit card
I know I never did my own suit
capital it fails us now come and let us seize the time x2
on the first day of my life I opened my eyes
guess where with superstars surrounded by luxury-eagers
I need a prison I need a hot fire
no credit no goods
come on back I say
they say we're bankrupt
capital it fails us now come and let us seize the time x2
capital it fails us now
oh no! I left it in my other suit!
one day all will be living on credit
bankrupt
I'm still in credit just
one day all men are living on credit
