The Mechanisms

Gassed last night, and gassed the night before
Gonna be gassed tonight if we’re never gassed no more
When you’re gassed, you’re sick as you can be
‘Cause novichok and mustard gas are much too much for me

They’re choking us, they’re choking us,
One respirator and it broke on us.
Thank your lucky stars that the pumps still work
‘Cause coughing up your lungs can be a chore

Cooked last night, and cooked the night before
Gonna be cooked tonight if we’re never cooked no more
When you’re cooked, you’re hot as you can be
‘Cause the Kaiser wants to microwave the British infantry

They’re boiling us, they’re boiling us,
One lead sheet between the four of us.
Thank your lucky stars that you taste so good
‘Cause we wouldn’t want your corpse to go to waste
