Am
Talk about the last war, the past war, the one before

I wanna salute the troops and what is more
Am
I'd like to toast a drink to the stink of the semaphore
E7 Am F Am F
I wanna parade on the graves of the gone before
[VERSE 2:]
Am
We were all together then, officers and gentlemen

Prisoners and pressmen, hound dogs and yellow men

Three million dead or more, what a score

With god on your side, you'll never lose another war
[CHORUS:]

But don't despair, there's more to come

Make your repairs, re-skin your drum

And I'll guarantee World War Three

Will be the biggest show you've ever seen
[VERSE 3:]
Am
The Russians are coming, I can feel it in my piss

Better get out your gun, set your sights and don't miss
Am
Better break out a bottle, make a toast to the past

If it don't taste like vodka, you'd better make it last

What's this I see? There's still foliage on the tree
Someone said 'Hello', it was surely meant for me
"Hello", I replied, feeling strange inside
N.C.
He took me by the hand and he whispered an aside
C F

War is over now, but unfortunately you are dead"
