Safe as Houses - Colosseum

They go to war with smiling faces

Smiling faces fresh from mum

Ask no questions, get told no lies

Learn to kill so no one dies

The daily targets are heaven sent

Nothing’s wrong, nothing’s meant to hurt so much

And all to keep us safe

As safe as houses

And then they’re in, embedded deep

Embedded in the broken streets

Radio calls to keep the faith

To keep from fear that ever creeps

The lottery tumbles, the die is cast

Friends will fall while you will last another day

And all to keep us safe

As safe as houses

For those who survive

The adventure of their lives

For those that pay the cost

It’s just paradise lost

They’re keeping us safe

Keeping the faith

Keeping us safe

Safe as houses

Safe as houses

Safe as houses
