DUMP 007 PASSION KILLERS "Whoopee! We're All Going To Die!" 7 inch EP '91
Passion Killers being then three members of Chumbawamba rush-releasing an anti-Gulf War single. There are four anti-war cover versions: Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die, Universal Soldier, Shipbuilding and Reuters
Here are the lyrics to two Passion Killers songs. The first one, Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die, is a very upbeat, party-type song, with lots of kazoo, whistles, whooping, yee-hawing, laughing, etc., in the background. The second one, Universal Soldier, has a more serious tone.
Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die
Come on all you big strong men,
Chorus:
Come on generals let's move fast,
Repeat chorus
Well come on Wall Street - don't move slow,
Repeat chorus
Well come on mothers don't delay,
Repeat chorus
Universal Soldier
He's 5' 2" and he's 6' 4"
He's fighting for democracy he's fighting for the reds
But without him how would Hitler have condemned him at De Vaul
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body as the weapon of the war
He's the universal soldier
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in desert lands.
So put down your books and pick up the gun
We're gonna have a whole lot of fun!
And it's 1 2 3 what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn!
Next up another Viet Nam.
And it's 5 6 7 open up the pearly gates.
There ain't no time to wonder why
We are all gonna die.
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out there and break some heads.
The only good enemy is one that's dead.
And you know the peace can only be won,
When you blow 'em all to kingdom come!
Why man, this is war-a-go-go!
There's plenty of money to be made
By supplying the army with the tools of the trade.
Just look at it my way - if you drop the Bomb,
Well, it's all part of the fun!
Pack your boys off to the Gulf today.
Come on fathers don't hesitate,
Send them off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box!
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of 31 and he's always 17
He's been a soldier for 1000 years
He's fighting for Britain and he's fighting for Iraq
He's fighting for the USA
He's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan
And he thinks he'll put an end to war this way
He says he's for the peace of all
He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die
And he never sees the writing on the wall
And without him all this killing can't go on
He really is to blame
His sword has come from far away no more
They come from you and me
And brothers / sisters can't you see
This is not the way we put an end to war?
