about

Lead vocals in verses and first halves choruses sung by Chris. Second halves of choruses sung by Jon. Gang vocals by Jay, Chris and Jon. Intro guest starring BIll Murray, borrowed from the movie "Stripes". This song is about fascination and disgust with the idea of leaders sending waves of their people off into war for some particularly personal or religious reason. Why should these men and women be subject to the horrors of war when the reason for which they fought has very little bearing, meaning or effect on them?

lyrics

Trench Foot Shuffle
Written by Christopher Windsor and Diesel Junkies

Get 'em on the deck
Gonna get 'em wet
Gonna walk the plank for the sake of the state that's kindly
Financed the sail
On the trail
Of the murderous scum that stole some honour from the crown
And thinks we care

Good God Almightly, Hallelujah!
And all that Jazz
We're gonna give our lives for a headless king
We're gonna do the trench foot shuffle!
Come on and do the trench foot shuffle!
Come on!

Here we are again
Couple thousand men
Women and children all sent off the blow off
Their enemies heads
For the grail
that sealed the pact between obtuse and narrow-minded
to prevail

Good God Almightly, Hallelujah!
And all that Jazz
We're gonna give our lives for a headless king

Good God Almightly, Hallelujah!
And all that Jazz
We're gonna give our lives for a headless king
We're gonna do the trench foot shuffle!
Come on and do the trench foot shuffle!

Good God Almightly, Hallelujah!
And all that Jazz
We're gonna give our lives for a headless king
We're gonna do the trench foot shuffle!
Come on and do the trench foot shuffle!
Everybody do the trench foot shuffle!
Come on!
