“The Dogs of War”    (Gilmour, Manzanera)
Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we don't discriminate.
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone.
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather 'round and haggle.
For hard cash, we will lie and deceive
Even our masters don't know the web we weave.

One world, it's a battleground,
One world, and we will smash it down,
One world ... One world.

Invisible transfers, and long distance calls,
Hollow laughter in marble halls.
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
Has unleashed the dogs of war.
You can't stop what has begun
Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion.
We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in death is the nature of the beast.

One world, it's a battleground,
One world, and they will smash it down,
One world ... One world.

The dogs of war won't negotiate
The dogs of war won't capitulate.
They will take and you will give,
And you must die so that they may live.
You can knock at any door,
But wherever you go, you know they've been there before.
Well winners can lose and things can get strained,
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.

One world, it's a battleground,
One world, and we will smash it down.
One world ... One world.
One world ... One world.
