When the powers meet
To discuss the facts
They say the answer's clear
I'm afraid we must attack
It's the only way
We heard the news today
All the women cried
I'm afraid the news was bad
He was all she had
But it's for the best
It's the only way
Some won't make it
But it's the only way
Bandits, bandits
Running through the world like bandits
Bandits, bandits
Cutting through our hearts like thieves
You can't escape the fall
The world's made for takers
While the givers bleed
For the old war makers
But they say it's for the best
It's the only way
Some won't make it
But it's the only way
Bandits, bandits
Running through our lives like
Bandits, bandits
Cutting through our hearts like thieves
How soon it's forgotten
After the guns have ceased
Now we're crying for war
When we once cried for peace
But it's for the best
It's the only way
Some won't make it
But it's the only way
Bandits, bandits
Running through the world like bandits
Bandits, bandits
Cutting through our hearts like thieves
Liars, killers
Running through he world like bandits
Forget about it
It's too much
