Lyrics.

Sleek and clean, the death machines stand ready on the decks
Inside, the men who fight in them run through their final checks
Absorbed in it, the pilots sit, their lives unmoved by hate
For those that fly make others die, and never touch their fate

(Chorus)
He just flies the bomber
He never sees their eyes when the hell comes down
He just flies the bomber

Inbound trip without a slip, the shuttle drops them free
They set the track for their attack, the backup comps agree
Now trim the jet, and don’t forget to plot in the return
It’s time to go, for down below's the planet that must burn

(Chorus)

Now make the run, so quick it’s done, and death screams toward the ground
But moving fast, they're so far past, they never hear the sound
A final turn, as from the stern they watch the mushrooms grow
That fill the night with deadly light, and kill the world below

(Chorus)

Back aboard the shuttle, there’ll be time enough to think what they have done
They’ll find their antiseptic war won’t leave them with a place that they can run
Nowhere to run

And there’s no deep untroubled sleep for one with such a debt
And guilt alone will not atone, nor let a soul forget
Those cries and screams, they’re not just dreams, imagination’s lies
“Goddamn the whore, the bitch who bore you killers from the skies!”

(Chorus)
