Alterative Version (acoustic)
(White/Cop/Pearce)
Verse 1
Look at you bright young men you are good and true
Trained and willing for the killing you know you must do
Crossed the ocean come to fight
Prepare to die for what is right
Chorus
Kind on kind, book for book
Blind on blind, look for look
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth
Lie for lie, truth for truth
Me and you, blood on blood
Human kind in the name of love
I’ll join you around the bend
I’m busy dieing, in the arms of a friend
Verse 2
Look at you wrapped up fine in your final coat
Trained and willing for the killing you’d cut your own throat
Walk up to them and shake their hand
You don’t tell them what you planned
Chorus
Kind on kind, book for book
Blind on blind, look for look
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth
Lie for lie, truth for truth
Me and you, blood on blood
Human kind in the name of love
I’ll join you around the bend
I’m busy dieing, in the arms of a friend
In the arms of a friend
Solo
Bridge
Then you did it, suicide (Tell them what you’re fighting for)
Count the Mothers they all cried (Tell them what I’m fighting for)
No-one home anymore (Tell them what you’re looking for)
You’ll watch the news to get the score (Tell them what you’re dieing for)
Chorus
Kind on kind, book for book
Blind on blind, look for look
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth
Lie for lie, truth for truth
Me and you, blood on blood
Human kind in the name of love (x2)
I’ll join you around the bend
I’m busy dieing, I’m busy dieing, I’m busy dieing
In the arms of a friend
Outro
(You really are the living end) I’m busy dieing
(You really are the living end) I’m busy dieing
(You really are the living end) I’m busy dieing
(You really are the living end) I’m busy dieing
In the arms of a friend
