War Again

Original (Early Concert) Version | "Boingo" Album Version

"Boingo" Album version

Don't you know we got smart bombs
It's a good thing that our bombs are clever
Don't you know, that the smart bombs
Are so clever, they only kill bad people now
Don't you know, though our kids are dumb
We got smart bombs, what a joyous thing now
Here we go, so let's drink a toast
To those clever bombs and the men who built them

There they go now, there go all my friends
There they go now, marching off to war again
Smiling proudly with their heads in the clouds

Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

Don't you know, this is better
Than any video, friend, it's an action movie
Here we go, watch the bad guys
Get their butts kicked, really makes me feel good
Here we go, watching CNN
The adrenaline rushes through my veins now
Don't you know, it's a feel-good show
Electronic bliss, it's a video, video

There they go now, there go all my friends
There they go now, marching off to war again
With their bright flags waving in the wind
There they go now, marching off to war again
Smiling proudly with their heads in the clouds

Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

Aren't you glad we got smart bombs
It's a good thing that our bombs are clever
It's a shame that our kids are dumb
But our bombs are smart - what a lucky thing now
Don't you know, it's a feel-good show
And it's suitable for the whole darn family
Come on out, everybody shout
Give a big salute to our ingenuity

Don't you know, this is better than
Any video, friend, it's an action movie
Here we go, watch the bad guys
Get their butts kicked, really makes me feel good
Don't you know, it's Nintendo
Really gets the blood going through my veins now
Don't you know, it's a feel-good show
Electronic bliss, it's a video, video

There they go now, there go all my friends
There they go now, marching off to war again
With their bright flags waving in the wind
There they go now, marching off to war again
Smiling proudly

There they go now, there go all my friends
There they go now, marching off to war again
With their bright flags waving in the wind
There they go now, marching off to war again
Smiling proudly with their heads in the clouds
See them smile now, marching all in a line, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
There they go now, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
There they go now, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah

There they go now, there go all my friends
There they go now, marching off to war again


Early Concert Version

[Early concert version, from around '93, I think. Way different lyrics in the beginning, though the basic song is pretty much the same as the final "Boingo" version.]

Don't you know we got smart bombs
It's a good thing that are bombs aren't stupid
Don't you know that our bombs are so clever
They only kill bad people
Don't you know though our kids are dumb
We got smart bombs, what a joyous thing
So let's all go drink a toast
To those clever bombs and the men who built them

Don't you know it's a video game
On the TV set, it's a video game
Don't you know it's Nintendo
Really gets my blood flowing through my veins
Here we go see the smart bomb on the TV set
Let's all give a cheer
Here we go and it's more intense
Then a football game let's all have a beer

There they go now
There go all my friends
There they go now
Marching off to war again
With their bright flags
Waving in the wind
There they go now
Marching off to war again
Smiling proudly
With their heads in the clouds

Don't you know this is better than
Any video, friend, it's an action movie
Here we go watch the bad guys
Get their butts kicked
Really makes me feel good
Here we go watching CNN
The adrenaline flowing through my veins
Don't you know it's a feel good show
Electronic bliss, it's a video game now

There they go now
There go all my friends
There they go now
Marching off to war again
With their bright flags
Waving in the wind
