If you're quick then you'll be rich and all of your children will be slavers

Is buzzing in my head
             G7                   D
Your eyes, a board and forever it says:

  They wish to know how we get on"

            Bm             A               G              Gb

That the people have a clue, what they fight for
                     G7
I have little now to do, but win this war

Know I'm winning it for you

  Look at this wonderous mechanism
Bm                       Em
   The smoke beneath the stars

  "People die of poison gas"
