The Rolling Stones - Highwire

[Verse 1]
We sell them missiles, We sell them tanks
We give them credit, You can call up the bank
It's just a business, You can pay us in crude
You'll love these toys, just go play out your feuds
We got no pride, don't know whose boots to lick
We act so greedy, makes me sick sick sick

[Chorus 1]
So get up, stand up, out of my way
I want to talk to the boss right away
Get up, stand up, who's going to pay
I want to talk to the man right away

[Chorus 2]
We walk the highwire
Sending men to the front line
And hoping they don't catch the hell-fire
Of hot guns and cold, cold lies

[Chorus 2]
We walk the highwire
Send the men to the front lines
And tell them to hotbed the sunshine
With hot guns and cold, cold lies

[Verse 2]
Our lives are threatened, our jobs at risk
Sometimes dictators need a slap on the wrist
Another Munich we just can't afford
We're going to send in the 82nd Airborne

[Chorus 1] [Chorus 2]
We walk the highwire
Putting the world out on a dead lie
And hoping they don't taste the shell-fire
Of hot guns and cold, cold lies

[Chorus 2]
We walk the highwire
Putting the world out on a dead lie
Catching the fight on the primetime
With hot guns and cold, cold lies

[Bridge]
Get up! Stand up!
Dealer! Stealer!
Hey!

[Chorus 2]
We walk the highwire
Sending men to the front line
And hoping that we backed the right side
With hot guns and cold, cold lies

[Chorus 2]
We walk the highwire
Sending men to the front line
And hoping they don't catch the hell-fire
With hot guns and cold, cold, cold, cold, cold lies

[Outro]
We walk the highwire[x2]
With hot guns and cold, cold, cold lies
