Disposable Heroes' Overture - Riff Resonance

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all Victim of what said should be, a servant 'til I fall Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell Twenty-one, only son, but he served us well Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say Finished here, greeting death, he's yours to take away Back to the front You will do what I say when I say Back to the front You will die when I say you must die Back to the front You coward, you servant, you blind man Barking of machine-gun fire does nothing to me now Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow More a man, more stripes you wear, glory seeker trends Bodies fill the fields I see, the slaughter never ends Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell Twenty-one, only son, but he served us well Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say Finished here, greeting death, he's yours to take away Back to the front You will do what I say when I say Back to the front You will die when I say you must die Back to the front You coward, you servant, you blind man Why am I dying? Kill, have no fear Lie, live off lying Hell, hell is here Why am I dying? Kill, have no fear Lie, live off lying Hell, hell is here I was born for dying Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say Had no chance to see myself, molded day by day Looking back I realize, nothing have I done Left to die with only friend, alone, I clench my gun Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell Twenty-one, only son, but he served us well Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say Finished here, greeting death, he's yours to take away Back to the front You will do what I say when I say Back to the front You will die when I say you must die Back to the front You coward, you servant, you blind man Back to the front Back to the front Back to the front Back to the front Back to the front

Susy se divierte viajando en Cadillac Tiene mucho dinero y nada en qué gastar Su máquina la envuelve si sale a caminar Sus manos en los controles y su sensualidad Susy Cadillac Ella me lleva Donde tu mente no va Susy se divierte viajando en Cadillac De cara a la autopista que va a ningún lugar Agujas la entretienen en su vieja enfermedad Pretende que el asfalto es su única verdad Susy Cadillac Ella me lleva Donde tu mente no va Se agita con el viento su pelo platinado Y solo la acaricia su nuevo tapizado Ahora está tranquila mirando a ningún lado Tan solo quedan marcas de rouge en los cromados Susy Cadillac Ella me lleva Donde tu mente no va Susy Cadillac Ella me lleva Donde tu mente no va Susy Cadillac Ella me lleva Donde tu mente no va
