Send in the Troops

from Downside Up (2020) by Insane Society

about

After all these years, I still love this song. Aside from the references to Bush & Blair, it hasn't dated. The war on terror will never end whilst the middle east still has oil.

lyrics

Send in the troops, to start a war,
its your duty, its what you signed up for,
and if you die, we’ll bring you home,
in a wooden box to a heroes welcome.

Send in the troops, to foreign soil,
the main objective, is to get theiroil,
a constant threat, of terrorisation,
we are the slaves to the nation.

Send in the troops, to who knows where?
you’re under orders, of Mr Bush and Blair,
they call the tune, in the name of peace,
who counts the heads of the deceased?

Send in the troops, with a price to pay,
we suffered heavy losses, in the field today,
no war is won, without aggravation,
we are the slaves to the nation.
