100 Million Little Bombs Songtext

von Buddy Miller

(Buddy and Julie Miller)

Three dollar bomb a hundred thousand roads
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
You can't clear one before another re-loads
To ratchet up the ante again

They're cheap and they're simple
And they're green and black
They take you right down a one way track
We've gone so far now that we can't get back
And we still won't stop this train

Footfall of a soldier
Footfall of a child
They don't know the difference
They're blind and mean and wild

One hundred million and the wheels go round
Lunch in geneva and the deals go down
We'll still have to fight a century from now the battle of a long gone war
What do you do with what's left behind
What can you grow when the fields are mined
What do you do when that's all you find you've got when you get back home

They're only made for terror
They don't care who they harm
Three dollars each to make
And a thousand to disarm

One hundred million still in the ground
Lunch in geneva and the deals go down
We'll still have to fight a century from now
The battle of a long gone war

What do you do with what's left behind
What can you grow when the fields are mined
What do you do when that's all you find you got when you get back home
From china to angola and cambodia where they lay
Chips from motorola
Made in the usa
