Lyrics
Can you hear the War Cry?
It's time to enlist
The People speak as One
The Cattle; the Crowd
Those too afraid to live demand a Sacrifice
Of your life
Can you smell their stinking breath?
Listen to them wheezing and gasping and
Chanting their slogans
It's a gravedigger's song, praising God & State
So the Nation will live; so we all can remain as cattle
They demand a Sacrifice
Of your life
[Flipper's version]:
Can you hear the War Cry?
It's time to enlist
The People speak as One
The Cattle; the Crowd
Those too afraid to live demand a Sacrifice
Can you hear them wheezing?
Listen to them, chanting their slogans
It's a gravedigger's song, demanding a Sacrifice
Can you see the fresh blood steaming from the soil?
As our fathers and mothers
Our Patriots and lovers
Admire the Military style; Praising God and State
So the Nation can remain cattle; so the Nation will survive
And the demand is a Sacrifice
Can you hear the War Cry?
It's time to enlist
Those too afraid to live, living as cattle
The Masses speak as One - they demand a sacrifice
