This is a song in two parts: the intro and the outro have pro-war call and return gang vocals, but the meat of the song is very clearly anti-war. I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of the juxtaposition was, but it works IMO.


Got one chance (infiltrate them) 
Get it right (terminate them) 
The Panzers will (permeate them) 
Break their pride (denigrate them)

And their people (retrograde them) 
Typhus (deteriorate them) 
Epidemic (devastate them) 
Take no prisoners (cremate them) 
(Burn!)

Going to war, give 'em hell 
D-Day, next stop Normandy 
Beginning of the end 
We know how to, and sure as shit, we'll win

"War is peace", sure man 
A retreat for the damned 
A playground for the demented 
A haven for those who walk this world 
Bereft of heart and soul

Love and war, they say all is fair 
Take his life, but won't take his hair 
Your body parts, your country spares 
By the way son, here's your wheelchair

He once had to be all he could be 
Now he's nothing for no one, nowhere to see 
Funny thing, he's like you and me 
It's a funny thing, a funny thing 
Tears streak his solemn stare 
Abandoned for wreckage, nobody cares

No one knew what would happen there 
No one spoke, no one even cared 
Don't ask what you can do for your country 
Ask what your country can do for you

Take no prisoners (take no shit) 
Take no prisoners (take no shit) 
Take no prisoners (take no shit) 
Take no prisoners (take no-) 
(Shit)
