Keep the people working lyrics

Artist  : Julian lennon 
Song : Keep the people working
 
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
