LYRICS

When they sell the final weapon, we can all watch it blow

Keep the people working, working

Keep the people working, working

Keep the people working, working

Gotta keep the people working



In the bed of iron they cast the final weapon

Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working



From the mines of Anatolia to the isle of Mandalay

Along the coast of sullen Africa, they're queuing up to pay

No cause, I don't discriminate, I sell to those who buy

There never was an innocent who didn't want to die

And with demand upon the increase what could keep the cost down

If I keep the people fighting, I can really go to town

No surprise, the cash you borrow, we can close the deal tomorrow

Just swiss francs or dollars won't cause me any borrow, boy



In a bed of iron they cast the final weapon

Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working

In a bed of iron they cast the final weapon

Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working



Everybody itching for someone to serve the task

I'll arm the politician for the coup, the crew, the cast,

I have a score of different faces, I can look like a lord

Seen in high places, flying on the concorde



Well you can marvel at precision, you can dial a telephone

Call up color vision from the safety of your home

You can mount the great offensive from a button by the chair

If you arm the right system, you can ionize the air



In a bed of iron, they cast the final weapon

Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working

In a bed or iron they cast the final weapon

Just to keep the people working, got to keep the people working

Like the wind across the frontier or the breaking light of day

I push across the mountains, all around the Bay of Biscay



Freeze in North America, boil in Pakistan

All along the amazon, from the fire to the frying pan



Whether air, sea or battle ground, desert sand or snow

When they sell the final weapon we can all watch it blow
