Chris Kimsey - Highwire lyrics

[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
