Warning shot
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ticket to the world, learn a trade or two
Hey now, it suits me somehow
How 'bout you?
Freeze me in the wind, burn me in the sun
Hey ho, on with the show,
Good clean fun
After it all I'll take you home, after this dream has gone
If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again
Defenders of the peace with all we've got
Someone has to fire the warning shot
Masters of the air, rulers of the sea
Hey hey our turn today
Victory
Nothing you can lose, everything to gain
Hey guys, try it for size
This ball and chain
After it all I'll take you home, after this dream has gone
If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again
Defenders of the peace with all we've got
Someone has to fire the warning shot
Teach all your children to follow the leader
Do as he says without question or reason
Fight for the flag and to hell with the rest
Surrender your freedom to serve with the best
After it all I'll take you home, after this dream has gone
If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again
Defenders of the peace with all we've got
Someone has to fire the warning...
After it all I'll take you home, after this dream has gone
If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again
Defenders of the peace with all we've got
Someone has to fire the warning shot
