The Rolling Stones – Highwire Lyric

We sell them misiles
we sell them tax
we give them credit
even call up the bank

It's just a business
you can pay us in crude
you love these toys
just go play out your fews

You got no pride
don't know whose boots to lick
we act so greedy
makes me sick sick sick

So get up stand up out of my way
I wanna talk to the boss right away
get up stand up whose gonna pay
I wanna talk to the man right away

We walk the highwire
sending the men to the front line
and hoping they don't catch the hell fire
with hot guns and cold cold nights

We walk the highwire
sending the men to the front lines
and tell them to hotbed the sunshine
with hot guns and cold cold nights

Our lives are threatened
our jobs at risk
sometimes dictators need
a slap on the wrist

Another Munich
we just can't afford
we're gonna send in
the eighty-second airborne

Get up stand up out of my way
I wanna talk to the boss right away
get up stand up out of my way
I wanna talk to the man right away

We walk the highwire
putting the world out on a deadline
and hoping they don't catch the shellfire
with hot guns and cold cold nights

We walk the highwire
putting the world out on a deadline
catching the bite on the primetime
with hot guns and cold cold nights

Get up stand up
dealer stealer

We walk the highwire
sending the men to the front lines
and hoping that we backed the right side
with hot guns and cold cold nights

We walk the highwire
sending the men to the front line
and hoping they don't catch the hellfire
with hot guns and cold cold cold cold cold nights

We walk the highwire
we walk the highwire
with hot guns and cold cold cold nights
