We sell 'em missiles, We sell 'em tanks

We give 'em credit, You can call up the bank

It's just a business, You can pay us in crude

(That's oil you know...)

You'll love these toys, just go play out your feuds

We 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 want to talk to the boss right away

Get up, stand up, whose gonna pay

I want to talk to the man right away

We walk the highwire

Sending men to the front line

Hoping they don't catch the hell-fire

Of hot guns and cold, cold lies

We walk the highwire

Sending the men up to the front lines

And tell 'em to hotbed the sunshine

With hot guns and cold, cold lies

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 82nd Airborne

''We got no pride, don't know whose boots to lickWe act so greedy, makes me sick sick sick''..ISIS most weapons are from the US, delivered in packages by 'ally' nationalist and Soeni-Islamist Erdohan, funded by ´ally´ Saudi Arabia and ´Qatar´.Saw ISIS torture a not-soeni girl of 4 years old on te streets of Syria...''...makes me sick sick sick''..''.

This is one of those songs that Keith talks about being a hidden bomb. You may not get it right away but hit the right circumstances in your life and you will. Now, fourteen years after the fact, time has caught up with "Highwire."

FOR VETERANS DAY...."We walk the high wire. Sending the men to the front line. Hoping that we backed the right side...HOT GUNS and cold cold lies.." They are not openly political, but a number of their songs reflect politics...From "Flashpoint"...

I share this song in many Facebook posts to let people think about our "great accomplishments" in places like Iraq after 3 or so wars since this video. Typical failed foreign policy.
