guns before butter

Lyrics

all this talk of blood and iron, is the 'cause of all my shaking, all this talk of blood and iron, is the 'cause of all my shaking, all this talk of blood and iron, is the 'cause of all my shaking, all this talk about blood and iron, it's the 'cause of all my shaking, the fatherland's no place to die for, it makes me want to run out shaking, i hear some talk of guns and butter, that's something we can do without, if men are only blood and iron, o doctor doctor, what's in my shirt?, just keep quiet, no room for doubt, i'm hearing talk of joy in labour, i'll tell you this, you can leave me out, the motherland's no place to cry for, i want some sand to hide my head in, i'm hearing talk of strength in labour, that's something i can do without, if i'm only blood and iron, o doctor doctor, what's in my shirt?, just keep quiet, no room for doubt, all this talk of blood and iron, it's the 'cause of all my shaking, the fatherland's no place to cry for, it makes me want to run out shouting, i hear some talk of guns and butter, that's something i can do without, if men are only blood and iron, o doctor doctor, what's in my shirt?, just keep quiet, no room for doubt
