Ub40 Bling Bling

On the radio wave the call to the grave

Is wrapped up in glory to fool the brave

They tell a tall story of all those that gave

All that they had fot the freedom theyd save



On the TV broadcast they said it wont last

All over by sunday, consigned to the past

The cleanup starts Monday despite the bomb blast

A brand new beginning the die has been cast



[Chorus:]

Theres plenty more where that came from

Five megatons of oblivion

Sent with love from the Pentagon

On a laser guided Neutron Bomb



But a satellite link said its worse than they think

They cant find the body: its causing a stink

The guy in the Oval is back on the drink

And Uncle Sams poodles in need of a shrink



Its been a full year, the families can cheer

Their sons and their brothers are now in the clear

The war is all over but it would appear

That those left behind are all living in fear



[Chorus]



Loot shoot gunfire salute

How many innocent die every day

Loot shoot gunfire salute

Innocent die from the games that you play



Deceit and deception theres always some deception

Like the unjust executions dat they forget to mention

You stop, stare and wonder but a you mek di blunder

Your enemies draw near wid di sound like rolling thunder



Torture and detention theres always some detention

For the fall guy, the patsy, the one dem never mention

You play your war games and play with innocent life

You keep the dice rolling with elaborate lies



Loot shoot gunfire salute

How many innocent die every day

Loot shoot gunfire salute

Innocent die from the games that you play
