Lyrics to Lovesick Town...

Four Legs Good

Marching Over the Bones

marching over the bones victory is close at hand
when all our enemies are buried neck deep in the sand
we'll bring our armies home marching over the bones

hoodlums are throwing stones lets all agree to disagree
we'll bomb their bungalows and burn their factories
and make some more heroes and march them over the bones

our flags will fly (over the bones)
our anthem will play
many will die some will be saved
mothers will cry others will pray

if there's a conscience on this earth
won't someone loan a dollar's worth what is it worth

marching over the bones it's dangerous here at home
round up the refugee's and in five years pay them off
with plaques for apologies stuck in over the bones

grease up the war machine simulcast it on t.v.
roll dice across a board and take another piece
and start another war playing over the bones

the dawn will break (over the bones)
the sky will crack (over the bones)
with players in place borders in tact
there's no more free space to give back

marching over the bones victory is close at hand
when all our enemies are buried neck deep in the sand
bring our armies home marching over the bones
