[Verse 1]
Riff
I
Riff
I want you
Riff
I want you to
Riff
I want you to march
Riff
Eyes goes right, shoulder arms
Riff
Left wheel turn, show your charms
Riff
Change your clothes, cut your hair
Riff                              Riff     Riff
Ain't no joke, ain't no place for kids
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         Riff
When the flags are high, hear the battle cry
 Riff
Treaty gone, see the bandit fly
Riff
Dig that trench, watch that blast
Riff
Shell-shock come, comin' fast
Riff
Name and rank, on parade
    Riff
We might get laid by a hand grenade
       Riff
Do you know what it means?
       Riff
Do you know what it means?
N.C.
This means war
 
 
[Chorus]
Riff       Riff
This means war
Riff       Riff
This means war
       Riff
I said this means war
Riff
This means war
Riff       Riff
This means war, the bullet got your number on it

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

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

I said, this means war
Riff
This means war
