Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sleek and clean, the death machines Stand ready on the decks Inside, the men who fight in them Run through their final checks Absorbed in it, the pilots sit Their lives unmoved by hate For those that fly make others die And never touch their fate [Chorus] He just flies the bomber He never sees their eyes when the hell comes down He just flies the bomber [Verse 2] Inbound trip, without a slip The shuttle drops them free They set the track for their attack The backup squads agree Now trim the jet, and don't forget To plot in the return It's time to go, for down below's The planet they must burn [Chorus] He just flies the bomber He never sees their eyes when the hell comes down He just flies the bomber [Verse 3] Now make the run, so quick it's done The jets scream toward the ground But moving fast, they're so far past They never hear a sound A final turn as from the stern They watch the mushrooms grow That fill the night with deadly light And kill the world below [Chorus] He just flies the bomber He never sees their eyes when the hell comes down He just flies the bomber [Bridge] Back aboard the shuttle, there'll be time enough to think what they have done They'll find their antiseptic war won't leave them with a place that they can run Nowhere to run [Verse 4] And there's no deep, untroubled sleep For those with such a debt The guilt, alone, will not atone Nor let a soul forget Those cries and screams, they're not just dreams Imagination's lies Goddamn the whore, the bitch who bore You killers from the skies [Chorus] He just flies the bomber He never sees their eyes when the hell comes down He just flies the bomber
