Tanks-A-Lot

Hey everyone
A new job I got
From none other
Than Tanks-A-Lot

We build large tanks
Two everyday
And that is how
We earn our pay

Hey everyone
We’re going to ship
Thirty two tanks
At ten mill a clip

So let’s give it
Our very best shot
Courtesy of
Tanks-A-Lot

Hey everyone
Now we can play
Here come the tanks
From the USA

Let’s rush them out
To the front line
Those Tanks-A-Lot
Are sure looking fine

     ---------

Hey everyone
Those new machines
Just blew my house
To smithereens

Along with my neighbors
Now all in a mess
How did they do it
Tanks-A-Lot, I guess

Hey everyone
They’ve blown our town
Into rubble
Everything’s down

What did we do, are
We ‘X-marks the spot’
Thanks a lot
Tanks-A-Lot

    -------------

They’re just bulls-eyes
To raise money on
Money that’s borrowed
To blow up their town

Each dollar borrowed
Profits big shots
Then they spend it
On Tanks-A-Lot

Interest is owed
Money is made
Out of thin air
It’s a charade

That’s dirty business
Making people rot
To profit the top
And Tanks-A-Lot
