- Secret Army Lyrics
Collecting funds for the holy fight
Like a door to door salesman in the dead of night
Russian guns help him on his way
Bought with money from the USA
[Chorus]
And the ordinary people say what's it for
And the ordinary people say we want no more
But the man at the top knows where to do the most harm
He's in he secret army
And this man with a gun says not a sound
I want this aeroplane turned around
He spent his life learning how to fill a man with lead
He'll probably spend the rest of it dead.
[Chorus]
When a bomb goes off in a city street
When a man gets killed for his beliefs
When a mother cries for the son she had
That's when the world's gone mad

What is the meaning behind Secret Army lyrics?
When we interpret the meaning being expressed, 'Secret Army' by Cock Sparrer is, on the one hand, a condemnation of war in all its absurdity and tragedy, while on the other hand, it points to the fact that the already suffering masses are entirely disconnected from the decisions taken by the powerful. In this way, the 'secret army' can be viewed as a metaphor for the unseen forces behind the wars. The main themes in the secret army lyrics are social commentary, anger, reflection, angst, and despair. The song also indicates the running through history of conflicts and violence, power and corruption, innocence and suffering, and public dissent. The lyrics contain violence, conflict, and harm, which are themes more appropriate for a mature audience. The uselessness of the depiction of guns, bombs, and the devastation that war brings upon ordinary people implies a level of intensity that necessitates a PG-13 rating. ✔️
Which genre is Secret Army?
Secret Army falls under the genre Alternative. ✔️
How long is the song Secret Army?
Secret Army song length is 1 minutes and 56 seconds.
