    We walk the highwire
                                D
    Sending the men up to the front line
                                 C
    Hoping they don't catch the hell fire
                       D
    With hot guns and cold, cold nights

                 C   G
    We walk the highwire
                                D
    Sending the men up to the front line
                                C
    And tell 'em to hotbed the sunshine
                       D
    With hot guns and cold, cold nights

    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, who's gonna pay
    I wanna talk to the boss right away
    Get up, stand up, outta my way
    I wanna talk to the man right away

(refrão 2x)
    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

    Get up! Stand up!
    Dealer! Stealer!
    Hey!
