Cheap Weapons Songtext
von Leslie Fish

Cheap crossbows, cheap halberds
Cheap pikes with their cheap iron heads
Cheap soldiers cry "forage"
And you needn′t pay to keep them fed

Cheap armies make for cheap excuses
Cheap weapons make for easy war
Cheap wars that you can keep on fighting
Thirty hears, a hundred years, and more

Gunpowder, brass cannons
Cost higher but they win your war
Star castles, massed pikemen
Will not win your battles anymore

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


Smart missiles, beam weapons
Ten thousand bucks for every shot
Sure winners cost billions
Victory costs everything you've got

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

War winning, big money
A game nobody can afford
Cheap battles no longer
Gone the way of halberd, pike, and sword

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
