Bling Bling - UB40

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 for the freedom they’d save

On the TV broadcast, they said it won’t 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

There’s 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 it’s worse than they think

They can’t find the body, it’s causing a stink

The guy in the Oval is back on the

And Uncle Sam’s poodle’s in need of a shrink

It’s been a full year, the families can cheer

Their sons and their daughters are now in the clear

The war is all over but it wouldn’t appear

That those left behind are all living in fear

There’s plenty more where that came from

Five megatons of oblivion

Sent with love from the Pentagon

On a laser guided Neutron Bomb

There’s plenty more where that came from

Five megatons of oblivion

Sent with love from the Pentagon

On a laser guided Neutron Bomb

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 and there’s always some deception

Like the unjust executions that they forget to mention

You stop, stare and wonder but you make the blunder

Your enemies draw near with the sound like rolling thunder

Torture and detention, there’s always some detention

For the fall guy, the patsy, the one they 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

Loot shoot, gunfire salute

How many innocent die every day

Loot shoot, gunfire salute

Innocent die from the games that you play

Loot shoot, gunfire salute

How many innocent die every day

Loot shoot, gunfire salute

Innocent die from the games that you play
