Hi, I'm looking for a song done by the Stones wwwwwwwwway back in the early 90's. It came out when the Gulf War was happening. It's not rocknrollish, with the guys banging away in the back, Mick is speaking sort of. Talking about us having sold guns/weapons( u.s. I guess) to these guys. I've checked numerous times on various music sites but I can't come up with anything. Maybe you can, I really appreciate your input. Wanda.

It is "Highwire" on the Flashpoint record of 1990 or 1991. |

We sell 'em missiles, We sell 'em tanks
We give 'em credit, You can call up the bank
It's just a business, You can pay us in crude
You’ll love these toys, just go play out your feuds
We got no pride, don't know whose boots to lick
We act so greedy, makes me sick sick sick
So get up, stand up, out of my way
I want to talk to the boss right away
Get up, stand up, whose gonna pay
I want to talk to the man right away
We walk the highwire
Sending men to the front line
Hoping they don't catch the hell-fire
Of hot guns and cold, cold lies
We walk the highwire
Sending the men up to the front lines
And tell 'em to hotbed the sunshine
With hot guns and cold, cold lies
Our lives are threatened, our jobs at risk
Sometimes dictators need a slap on the wrist
Another Munich we just can't afford
We're gonna send in the 82nd Airborne
Get up, stand up, who's gonna pay
I wanna talk to the boss right away
Get up, stand up, outta my way
I wanna talk to the man right away
We walk the highwire
Putting the world out on a dead lie
And hoping they don't taste the shell-fire
Of hot guns and cold, cold lies
We walk the highwire
Putting the world out on a dead lie
Catching the fight on a primetime
With hot guns and cold, cold lies
Get up! Stand up!
Dealer! Stealer!
Hey!
We walk the highwire
We're sending men to the front line
And hoping that we backed the right side
With hot guns and cold, cold lies
We walk the highwire
We sending the men up to the front lines
And hoping they don't catch the hell-fire
With hot guns and
Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold lies ..
We walk the highwire
We walk the highwire
With hot guns and cold, cold, cold lies.

I thought it was "hot guns and cold knives". If it wasn't, I like my version better. |

At least it got 2 new songs on it. I can live with another live album in few months with new songs on it. |
