The Getaway

Voivod


Bring the boys back 
They're under attack 
Pack up your stuff 
before you get smacked 
The maps are folded 
The truck's are loaded 
The spirit of the troops 
by the heat remolded 
the plan was simple 
and time was crucial 
who knows now if 
it's still essential? 
a sort of revenge 
gone out of hand 
black gold is worth 
a few dead men 

find the getaway 
time to get away 
find the getaway 
finally get away 

bring the kids home 
since they're on hold 
the sky above their head 
is filled with black smoke 
no more to prove 
their minds get loose 
becoming targets 
a mirage confused 
the world is watching 
the moves you're making 
and every action 
might be mistaken 
no one's a winner 
but you ain't losers 
as we fill our tanks 
you're damn good soldiers 

find the getaway 
time to get away 
find the getaway 
finally get away 

away from here 
the battlefields of gods 
the wasteland of titans 
where everything's destroyed 

only speculations 
who speaks for you 
as they make their millions 
I speak for you 

Wait for orders! 
Please stand by! 
let's call it even 
even now, even now 
before it's too late
