Lyrics Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Mars

Rifle butts, band aids

Mortar bombs and hand grenades

Match battle cruisers

Who came out the losers

Lie in the long grass

Can't let them pass

Bullets flying all ways

Let me get through the day

Mars the bringer the bringer the bringer of war

Mars the bringer of war, what for

Atom bombs, night sights

Submarines and satellites

Flame thrower back pack

You just gotta fight back

Caught in the barbed wire

Halt or I fire

Cannon fodder faces

Put them through their paces

Mars the bringer the bringer the bringer of war

Destroyer of life, that's right, that's right

Atom bombs, night sights

Submarines and satellites

Flame thrower back pack

You just gotta fight back

Caught in the barbed wire

Halt or I fire

Cannon fodder faces

Put them through their paces

Mars the bringer the bringer the bringer of war

The bringer of war, what for
