In the papers we can read about the bombs falling down Killing men, women and children Destroying town by town That's good news my friend On the centrefold they show us A picture of poor tom He lost one of his arms It was blown of by a bomb That's great news oh yes Chorus: War is money With pictures of our tears War is money They feed on our fear War is money They know it all so well War is money Let's bomb them all to hell A paper show us pictures From a terrorist attack Fifteen mutilated bodies Are lined up on their back That's good news oh yes On the centerfold you read About a girl who just turned nine She'll never run again Cause she stepped on a landmine I tell you my friends that's great for the economy
