Larry
You keep your head down, yeah

[Verse 1]
I
I want you
I want you to
I want you to march
Eyes go right, shoulder arm
Left wheel turn, show your charms
Change your clothes, cut your hair
Ain't no joke, ain't no place for kids

[Pre-Chorus]
When the flags are high, hear the battle cry
Treaty gone, see the bandit fly
Dig that trench, watch that blast
Shell-shock come, comin' fast
Name and rank, on parade
We might get laid by a hand grenade
Do you know what it means?
Do you know what it means?

This
Means
War
[Chorus]
This means war
This means war
I said, This means war
This means war
This means war

The bullet got your number on it

[Bridge]
Run for cover
Hit the dirt
Call for your mother, yeah
Ohh yeah

[Verse 2]
I
I need you
I need you to
I need you to fire
Cock your gun, wet your sights
Get the bull, dead to rights
Volunteer, one pace back
On the beach
Ain't no place for kids
Mmm
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, the flak is high on the bomber run
You don't talk back to an ack-ack gun
Fire rage, and you're in the blitz
Keep your head, or you're blown to bits
Name and rank on parade
Might get laid by a hand grenade
You know what it means?
Do you know what it means?

This
Means
War

[Solo]

Yeah-yeah-yeah
Oooh yeah-yeah

[Verse 3]
Who go there, is it friend or foe? (This means war)
Propaganda time on the radio (This means war)
Top brass shout as they clown around (This means war)
And peace talks die in Geneva town (This means war)
Do you know what it means? (This means war)
Do you know what it means? (This means war)
Do you know what it means? (This means war)
Do you know what it means? (This means …)
[Chorus]
This means war, yeah
This means war
I said, This means war
This means war
This means war

Where's the Seventh Cavalry?

Ohh

[Chorus]
Woww, this means war
I told you before
I said, This means war
You know the score
I said, This means war
This means war

This
Means
War

You're all dead
