(You get your head down, will you)
I
I want you
I want you to
I want you to march

Eyes go right, shoulder arms
Left wheel turn, show your charms
Change your clothes, cut your hair
Ain't no joke, ain't no place for kids
When the flags are high, hear the battle cry
Treaty gone, see the bandit fly
Dig that trench, watch the blast
Shell shock come, coming fast

Name and rank on parade
Might get laid by a hand grenade
Do you know what this means?
Do you know what this means?
This - means - war

This means war, this means war
I said this means war, this means war
This means war

(Run for cover, hit the deck, call for your mother)

I
I need you
I need you to
I need you to fire

Cock your gun, wet your sights
Get the bull dead to rights
Volunteers, one pace back
On the beach ain't no place for kids
When the flack is high on a bomber run
You don't talk back to an ack-ack gun
Fire range, and you're in the blitz
Keep your head or you're blown to bits

Name and rank on parade
Might get laid by a hand grenade
Do you know what it means?
Do you know what it means?
This - means - war

Who's going there, is it a friend or foe?
Propaganda time on the radio
Top brass shout as they clown around
Peace talks die in Geneva town

Do you know what it means? (This means war)
Do you know what it means? (This means war)
Do you know what it means? (This means war)
Do you know what it means? (This means)
This - means - war

This means war
I said this means war, this means war
This means war

(Where's the second gun?)
This means war,
I told you before, this means war
You know the score, said this means war
This means war
This-means-war
You're all dead

TRADUZIONE

This means war / Questo vuol dire guerra

(Abbasserai la guardia, lo farai)
Io
Io voglio
Voglio che tu
Voglio che tu ti metti in marcia

Sguardo a destra, petto in fuori
Gira a sinistra, mostra cosa sai fare
Cambiati i vestiti, tagliati i capelli
Non é uno scherzo, non é un posto per ragazzi
Quando le bandiere sono alte, ascolta il pianto della battaglia
La trattativa é fallita, guarda l'esplosione
Sfrecciano i proiettili, arrivano veloci

Nome e grado in parata
Potrebbero venire atterrati da una bomba a mano
Sai cosa significa?
Sai cosa significa?
Questo - significa - guerra

E' guerra, é guerra
Ho detto che questo significa guerra, é guerra
E' guerra

(Corri a nasconderti, buttati a terra, chiama tua mamma)

Io
Ho bisogno
Ho bisogno che tu
Ho bisogno che tu faccia fuoco

Carica il fucile, spalanca gli occhi
Becca quello morto sulla destra
Volontari, un passo indietro
La spiaggia é non é un posto per ragazzi
Quando l'anti aereo ha inquadrato il bombardiere
Non puoi rispondere ad un missile anti aereo
Raggio di fuoco e sei sotto assalto
Tieni la testa bassa o verrai fatto a pezzi

Nome e grado in parata
Potrebbero venire atterrati da una bomba a mano
Sai cosa significa?
Sai cosa significa?
Questo - significa - guerra

Chi va la, amico o nemico?
Tempo di propaganda alla radio
Gli ufficiali superiori urlano come pagliacci

Climb into the ring for a battle that you can't win
Swing as hard as you can swing, it will still mean nothing
Should’ve seen it coming
It had to happen sometime
But you went and brought a knife
To an all out gun fight

And the only thing to save
Is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave

You’ve gone too far
(get up, get up)
Who do you think you are
(get up so we can finish this)
Is this what you came for
(get up, get up)
Well this means war
(get up so we can finish this)

Say anything you want
But talk will get you nowhere
The only thing you've brought was psychological warfare
Well there’s no getting out
And now you got to wonder
Who will dig you out when you’re six feet under

And the only thing to save
Is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave

You’ve gone too far
(get up, get up)
Who do you think you are
(get up so we can finish this)
Is this what you came for
(get up, get up)
Well this means war
(get up so we can finish this)

And the only thing to save
Is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave

You’ve gone too far
(get up, get up)
Who do you think you are
(get up so we can finish this)
Is this what you came for
(get up, get up)
Well this means war
(get up so we can finish this)

Well this means war

Hide my face again
Harbor in the shadows
Feel this weight of sin
Hammer it away
Die - with the guilt
Of a thousand AWOL soldiers
Die - watch the scythe usher me astray

I can't go on this way
Not as I am today
The ugly sight of me is strong
Take aim a loaded gun
Pull back on all who run
A coward's truth inside the wrong

This means war (3x)

Lash your tongue of bane
Carry me to nowhere
Mental holocaust
Battle never ends
Lie - Mask the pain
Of a child who's forsaken
Lie - to my self
Praise the new regime

I left me long ago
Reasons you'll never know
No one to miss me when I'm gone
With no more words to say
No argument to stay
Another post I don't belong

This means war (5x)

No home to call my own
No finding someone new
No one to break the fall
No one to see me through
No name to carry on
No promise for today
No one to hear the call
No tattered flag to raise

Walk the razor's edge
Cut into the madness
Question all you trust
Buy into the fear
I - see the man
Ripping at my soul now
I - I know the man
I know him all too well

There's nothing here for free
Lost who I wanna be
My serpent blood can strike so cold
On any given day
I'll take it all away
Another thought I can't control

This means war (5x)

Savagery - as judgment days arrive
Long we have waited for this time
How many brothers fallen?
How many kept alive as slaves for the wicked few?
'Tis time for reparations
'Tis time to settle scores
This time we give no warning...this means war!

Savagery - 'tis now our spirit overflows
War - our minds are focused; we are one!
Hear now the winds of change
A force to obviate
All the enemies naked now
All the smoke gone and all their mirrors are broken
Lost - empires crumble; destiny
Behold! I crusader no retreat

Years of complacency on the part of the mob
Feeding on lies...so slothed, so full this is it
Restless...and tolerance nearing its peak
Woe to the next ones who push us to far

Our love is now replaced by war
Live cannot be spared, our victory at hand
And by my hand I slay the first
And the last will follow as we watch these wickeds bleed
No rest for the soldiers 'till the purge is done
No salvation until we drench this earth

Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole,
n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare gia na festa...
Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole.

Ma n'atu sole
cchiu bello, oje ne'.
'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!

Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne,
me vene quase 'na malincunia;
sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria
quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne.

Ma n'atu sole
cchiu bello, oje ne'.
'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!

[Joan Jett/Bob Halligan/Kenny Laguna]

I been knockin' the walls down
Tryin' to get to you
But I won't wait forever
Ya gotta let me thru
Now I been diplomatic
But I don't know what for
'Cuz you hurt me, now just watch me
'Cuz I won't take no more

This means war--and you will see it's senseless
This means war--and soon you'll be defenseless
'Cuz you can't win this war

There will be no replacements
Ya better get your gun
Because I'm comin' after you
For everything you done
And then when you are captured
It won't be like before
'Cuz you teased me, deceived me
But this is what's in store

This means war--and you will see it's senseless
This means war--and soon you'll be defenseless
'Cuz you can't win this war

You avoid reality in the calm before the storm
It hurts me so to fight with you
But since you closed the door

This means war--and you will see it's senseless
This means war--and soon you'll be defenseless
'Cuz you can't win this war

This means war--and you will see it's senseless
This means war--and soon you'll be defenseless
'Cuz you can't win this war

You can't win this war
You can't win this war
