Three dollar bomb a hundred thousand roads
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
You can't clear one before another re-loads
To ratchet up the ante again
They're cheap and they're simple And they're green and black
They take you right down a one way track
We've gone so far now that we can't get back
And we still won't stop this train
Footfall of a soldier
Footfall of a child
They don't know the difference
They're blind and mean and wild
One hundred million and the wheels go round Lunch in geneva and the deals go down
We'll still have to fight a century from now the battle of a long gone war
What do you do with what's left behind
What can you grow when the fields are mined
What do you do when that's all you find you've got when you get back home
They're only made for terror
They don't care who they harm
Three dollars each to make and
A thousand to disarm
Three dollar bombs a 100 thousand more
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
You can't clear one before another re-loads
To ratchet up the ante again
They're cheap and they're simple, they're green and black
They take you right down a one way track
We've gone so far now that we can't get back
And we still won't turn around
One hundred million still in the ground
Lunch in geneva and the deals go down
We'll still have to fight a century from now the battle of a long gone war
From China to Angola
Cambodia where they laid
With chips from Motorola
Made in the USA
Three dollar bomb a hundred thousand roads
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
You can't clear one before another re-loads
To ratchet up the ante again
They're cheap and they're simple And they're green and black
They take you right down a one way track
We've gone so far now that we can't get back
And we still won't stop this train
Stop this train
