UB40 - Plenty More lyrics
[UB40 - Plenty More lyrics]
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
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

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

There's plenty more where that came from
