" Mayday "

do you remember mayday
a radio-telephone distress call

we are losing altitude
our engines are on fire
we are coming in
on a wing and a prayer
mayday mayday

our ship is sinking
abandon ship
pacific ocean
sharks are waiting
mayday mayday

we are up in the hills
with rifles and handguns
we see the enemy in tanks
headed our direction
mayday mayday

a parachute didn't open
a parachute opened
caught hanging in a tree
the enemy is coming
mayday mayday

we need airsupport
we are trapped
incoming fire
on the beach
mayday mayday

language of war
language of life
a shot heard
around the world
mayday mayday
