Rolling Stones - Highwire Lyrics
Highwire(jagger/richards)We sell em missiles, we sell em tanksWe give em credit, you can call up the bankIts just a business, you can pay us in crude (oil)Youll love these toys, just go play out your feudsGot no pride, dont know whose boots to lickWe act so greedy, makes me sick sick sickSo get up, stand up, out of my wayI want to talk to the boss right awayGet up, stand up, whose gonna payI want to talk to the man right awayWe walk the highwireSending the men to the front lineHoping they dont catch the hell fireWith hot guns and cold, cold liesWe walk the highwireSending the men up to the front linesAnd tell em to hotbed the sunshineWith hot guns and cold, cold liesOur lives are threatened, our jobs at riskSometimes dictators need a slap on theWristAnother munich we just cant affordWere gonna send in the 82nd airborneGet up, stand up, whos gonna payI wanna talk to the boss right awayGet up, stand up, outta my wayI wanna talk to the man right awayWe walk the highwirePutting the world out on a deadlieAnd hoping they dont taste the shellfireWith hot guns and cold, cold liesWe walk the highwirePutting the world out on a deadlieCatching the bite on primetimeWith hot guns and cold, cold liesGet up! stand up!Dealer! stealer!Hey!We walk the highwireWere sending the men to the front lineWere hoping that we backed the right sideWith hot guns and cold, cold liesWe walk the highwireWe sending the men up to the front linesAnd hoping they dont catch the hellfireWith hot guns andCold cold, cold, cold, cold liesWe walk the highwireWe walk the highwireWith hot guns and cold, cold, cold lies
