Highwire Lyrics - Flashpoint - Rolling Stones

We sell 'em missiles, We sell 'em tanks 

We give 'em credit, You can call up the bank 

It's just a business, You can pay us in crude 

(That's oil you know...) 

You'll love these toys, just go play out your feuds 

We got no pride, don't know whose boots to lick 

We act so greedy, makes me sick sick sick 

So get up, stand up, out of my way 

I want to talk to the boss right away 

Get up, stand up, whose gonna pay 

I want to talk to the man right away 

We walk the highwire 

Sending men to the front line 

Hoping they don't catch the hell-fire 

Of hot guns and cold, cold lies

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

We walk the highwire 

Sending the men up to the front lines 

And tell 'em to hotbed the sunshine 

With hot guns and cold, cold lies 

Our lives are threatened, our jobs at risk 

Sometimes dictators need a slap on the wrist 

Another Munich we just can't afford 

We're gonna send in the 82nd Airborne 

Get up, stand up, who's gonna pay 

I wanna talk to the boss right away 

Get up, stand up, outta my way 

I wanna talk to the man right away 

We walk the highwire 

Putting the world out on a dead lie 

And hoping they don't taste the shell-fire 

Of hot guns and cold, cold lies 

Photos 

We walk the highwire 

Putting the world out on a dead lie 

Catching the fight on a primetime 

With hot guns and cold, cold lies 

Get up! Stand up! 

Dealer! Stealer! 

Hey! 

We walk the highwire 

We're sending men to the front line 

And hoping that we backed the right side 

With hot guns and cold, cold lies 

We walk the highwire 

We sending the men up to the front lines 

And hoping they don't catch the hell-fire 

With hot guns and 

Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold lies . 

We walk the highwire 

We walk the highwire 

With hot guns and cold, cold, cold lies.
