[Verse 1]
Stockpile of ammunition in wooden crates
Stenciled with exotic ports of call
White rags stuffing up glass jugs
Clean-burning over proof alcohol

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I did not seek out the mission
But the mission found me
Twenty-one years old
I mean to learn what it's like to be free

[Chorus]
We're gonna need
We're gonna need more bandages
We are gonna need
We're gonna need more bandages

[Verse 3]
Cheap overseas tobacco
Hidden treasures within
You can even smoke it if you're desperate
We do get desperate now and again

[Verse 4]
I am not the first to follow the plan
Just a cog in the machine
I'm just here to run interference
Dancing like a fly on the screen
[Chorus]
We're gonna need
We're gonna need more bandages
We are gonna need
We're gonna need more bandages

[Bridge]
More bandages, more shovels
When the shovels break
We've still got our fingernails

[Verse 5]
Why wait until tomorrow?
Victory awaits with the dawn
If we all get blown to pieces
We can leave a nasty mark when we're gone

[Verse 6]
I did not hunt down the moment
It found me in a dream
Struck down as a warning to the others
Nothing without my brothers

[Outro]
We're gonna need
We're gonna need more bandages
We are gonna need
We're gonna need more bandages
