Industry - State Of The Nation (1983)

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
[Verse 1]
I see them marching off to war
They're looking so heroic
I'm told they won't be gone for long
But that's a lie and they know it
Ten thousand gone they won't return
Never to be seen again
Strategic games is all we learn in the end
But they say

[Chorus]
Don't you worry about the situation
A message from the telephone
They out there fighting for the state of the nation
I'm waiting a chance to come home
They always have to fight the alienation
And realize I'm fighting alone

[Verse 2]
When nightmares memories fades to dust
We'll get back on our feet again
This war has nothing to do with us
But somehow we're still involved in it
...


A four-decade-old tune that seems apropos of late?

Songs you will never hear on commercial radio ...

Exude - Boys Just Want to Have Sex (1984) (extended version)
www.youtube.com

Yeah, I first heard that tune on the local college station.


It's a great parody of the Cyndi Lauper song.
