Artist: The Beautiful South
Song: poppy
I fought hard in the second world war you hear them shout
No good bragging about the Afrika Korps it was beadles about
They dressed you up and took you off to world war one
Armed you and surrounded you with wire
Sat in stinking mud you sung your stupid songs
And waited till they told you when to fire
'Cause the rulers always laugh at a video bloodbath
And nothing makes them laugh like a video bloodbath
From the first world war to the Yom Kippur it was beadles about
The bayonets slice, the rockets roar and he jumps out
Fond memories of the bloody bridge you failed to hold
Many of your buddies killed or maimed
You would've shot at rabbits if that's what you'd been told
Till the general said I'm sorry you've been framed
'Cause the rulers always laugh at a video bloodbath
And nothing gets a laugh like a video bloodbath
Keep those entries coming leave those cameras running
Keep those entrails coming leave those soldiers gunning
Because you're sure to get a laugh with a video bloodbath
Nothing gets a laugh like a video bloodbath
Here's a wacky video we got last week
A bomb catches Arthur unawares
He's lost both his arms and he can't see or speak
But thank you for the memory you shared
'Cause the rulers always laugh at a video bloodbath
And nothing gets a laugh like a video bloodbath
Keep those entries coming leave those cameras running
Keep those entrails coming leave those soldiers gunning
Because you're sure to get a laugh with a video bloodbath
Nothing gets a laugh like a video bloodbath
