For every gun that's fired and every bullet that is spent
be sure a bloody human price is paid.
Not in the blood of victims or of those to conflict sent,
but blood of working man and working maid.
For every working hero pays the taxes that are due
to governments and states upon demand,
and a portion of theses taxes is converted into axes
that keep the bloody freedom fighters armed.
So if a child goes hungry or an illness goes uncured
for want of money spent on nations health.
Just remember that your gov'ment keeps your freedom well secured
by adding to the weapons dealer's wealth.
And if that little detail tends to make you stop and think
about the way your income tax is spent.
Nation's budgets are selected by the man that you elected
and you're the one that he should represent.
