Guns Before Butter Lyrics - Entertainment! - Gang Of Four

All this talk of blood and iron 

Is the 'cause of all my shaking 

All this talk of blood and iron 

Is the 'cause of all my shaking 

All this talk of blood and iron 

Is the 'cause of all my shaking 

All this talk of blood and iron 

It's the 'cause of all my shaking 

The fatherland's no place to die for 

It makes me want to run out shaking 

I hear some talk of guns and butter 

That's something we can do without 

If men are only blood and iron 

O Doctor Doctor, what's in my shirt? 

Just keep quiet, no room for doubt 

I'm hearing talk of joy in labor 

I'll tell you this you can leave me out 

The motherland's no place to cry for 

I want some sand to hide my head in 

I'm hearing talk of strength in labor 

That's something I can do without 

If I'm only blood and iron 

O Doctor Doctor, what's in my shirt 

Just keep quiet, no room for doubt 

All this talk of blood and iron 

It's the cause of all my shaking 

The fatherland's no place to cry for 

It makes me want to run out shouting 

I hear some talk of guns and butter 

That's something I can do without 

If men are only blood and iron 

O Doctor Doctor, what's in my shirt? 

Just keep quiet, no room for doubt
