Safe Below
They said they would prevent a war
To stop the sufferings for ever more
No wars to fight no blood to shed
But they were lying we'll soon be dead
And now you're as good as dead
And now you're as good as dead
Those alive there soon be none
In the distance a yellow sun
And still we pray for death to come
And now you're as good as dead
And now you're as good as dead
The troops are out there on patrol
Passing burnt lumps as they go
My clothes are in shreds i can barely see
Whilst all around is dead and disease
And now you're as good as dead
And now you're as good as dead
I picture maggie in my mind
Safe below she's feeling fine
She has no burns no torn off limbs
She sits on her arse and play silly games
And now you're as good as dead
And now you're as good as dead
