Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cheap crossbows; cheap halberds Cheap pikes with their cheap iron heads Cheap soldiers; cry "forage!" And you needn't pay to keep them fed [Chorus] Cheap armies make for cheap excuses Cheap weapons make for easy war Cheap wars that you can keep on fighting Thirty years, a hundred years, and more! [Verse 2] Gunpowder; brass cannons Cost higher but they win your war Star castles; massed pikemen Will not win you battles any more [Chorus] Cheap armies make for cheap excusеs Cheap weapons make for еasy war Cheap wars that you can keep on fighting Thirty years, a hundred years, and more! [Verse 3] Smart missiles; beam weapons Ten thousand bucks for every shot Sure winners cost billions Victory costs everything you've got [Chorus] Cheap armies make for cheap excuses Cheap weapons make for easy war Cheap wars that you can keep on fighting Thirty years, a hundred years, and more! [Instrumental] [Verse 4] War-winning big money A game nobody can afford Cheap battles no longer Gone the way of halberd, pike and sword [Chorus] Cheap armies make for cheap excuses Cheap weapons make for easy war Cheap wars that you can keep on fighting Thirty years, a hundred years, and more! No more!
