[Verse 1]

Obey the order

Charge into the breach

Battalions take up the fight

While fat ass bureaucrats far out of reach

Watch via satellite

Power politics while thousands of klicks

From the front lines

Brave men at arms

Take the bull by the horns

Winning, their bottom line

[Chorus]

Cannon fire makes the skies glow

Brass and lead make the cash flow

Bleed and die, why, we don't know

On behalf of all these

Rear Echelon Motherfuckers

[Guitar Solos]

[Verse 2]

Quell the storm

And ridе the thunder

Fighting across the dividе

In the name of all the lies and the blunders

Of men not qualified

We know ballistics

And they know statistics

Acceptable death rates

But if gunfire were near

Would they volunteer?

Bullets don't discriminate

[Chorus]

Cannon fire makes the skies glow

Brass and lead make the cash flow

Bleed and die, why, they don't know

On behalf of all these

On behalf of all these

On behalf of all these

Rear Echelon

Motherfuckers
