In The Wars Songtext

von Split Enz

Prepare to die,
Prepare to meet your maker.
...(Pax vobiscum?) is a traitor
And later, blood red in rivers
Stand and deliver

We're in the wars
Because we're in the wars
We got to get our knives(?)
We're in the wars
Because we're in the wars
Behind enemy lines
We're in the wars

You can't relax, the world will tax your reasons
Beyond your guard it's always hard to preserve
Your values, they'll try and shell you
And overwhelm you

We're in the wars
Because we're in the wars
We got to get our knives(?) | We got to get out alive(?)
We're in the wars
Because we're in the wars
Behind enemy lines
We're in the wars
