War Games
Flash and the Pan Lyrics

Here we are my old friend
We are now reminiscing the past with an old friend

Looking at the photographs
We are currently looking at some old photographs

Isn't that Jimmy and his dear old dad
We found a picture of Jimmy and his dad who seemed close

Isn't it a pity that he turned out mad
It's unfortunate that Jimmy now appears to be mentally ill

What about Jack off the drink
We're talking about Jack, who seems to have quit drinking alcohol

Makes you wonder, makes you think
It's intriguing & thought-provoking to find out such things about people

Bring on the soldiers
We want to start a war

Bring on the guns
We want weapons for the war

Bring out the bullets
We need to get the ammunition ready for the war

Bring on the sons
We are asking people to send their sons to join the army

Bring out the haircut
We might require a hairstyle regulation for the soldiers

Bring out the draft
We need to start drafting men for the war

Bring on the war
We really want a war to start, and everything we've been doing is preparation for it.

What you say my old friend
We resume our conversation with, 'What do you think about the old times?'

Wasn't that a pleasant time
Asking a rhetorical question, we appreciate the time that has passed

Wasn't that funny when she lost her head
We found it amusing when someone lost their temper or lost all their rational thinking

Gave away the wedding for the team instead
She abandoned the concept of a wedding so that the team could continue with their goal

And what about Jack turning grey
We continue talking about Jack, who seems to be aging

Makes you wonder what you say
This sparks curiosity, and we begin to ponder about aging

Bring out the Catholics
We want soldiers of every religion to join the war, including Catholics

Bring out the Jews
We also want Jewish soldiers in our army

Bring out the Protestants
And, we want people of Protestant faith to join the war too

And the Arabs too
We want Arab people to join the war efforts as well

Bring out your Russians
Russians should also take part in the war preparations

And bring out your Yanks
Americans should join the war as well

Bring out your missiles
Weapons like missiles should be added to our arsenal

And bring out your tanks
This line is asking to bring out more weapons - tanks.

Bring out your capitalists
Capitalists should support the war as well

Bring out your Reds
Communist countries' involvement is important too

Bring out your socialists
Even socialist countries should pitch in the effort

And you're sick in the head
If someone disagrees with our call for war, we think they're crazy

Bring out your hammer
This line shows that those who support our war should bring out tools for it

Bring up the fist
Those who support us should also show their support through physical gestures

Bring out the sober
This line is asking people to get serious about the war

And let's all go and get fucking pissed
Finally, we encourage people to celebrate as if they have already won the war

Go have your wars
The final line of the song is telling people to start their own wars.
