Safe Below - The Exploited

They said they would prevent a war

To stop the sufferings for ever more

No wars to fight no blood to shed

But they were lying we’ll soon be dead

And now you’re as good as dead

And now you’re as good as dead

The button is pushed it’s all begun

Those alive there soon be none

In the distance a yellow sun

And still we pray for death to come

And now you’re as good as dead

And now you’re as good as dead

The troops are out there on patrol

Passing burnt lumps as they go

My clothes are in shreds i can barely see

Whilst all around is dead and disease

And now you’re as good as dead

And now you’re as good as dead

I picture maggie in my mind

Safe below she’s feeling fine

She has no burns no torn off limbs

She sits on her arse and play silly games

And now you’re as good as dead

And now you’re as good as dead
