Warmongers 2026: The return of the immortal club anthem
I don’t think I need to say much about the fantastic club classic “Warmongers”, which, incidentally, is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary. The track played at every dark disco party for years on end. Even when I hear the song in a club today, you can tell straight away how the dance floor fills up. So it’s still a club hit that just won’t die.
However, it’s not just great for marching in a square to the 4/4 beat, the lyrics are also bittersweet and extremely sarcastic. By the time you get to lines like “Join the war machine and fight on foreign ground” or "Patriots we will reward you / Our nation will be so proud of you", you don’t need to be a genius to work out who the song is aimed at. I love it so much!!!
The new 2026 version has been beautifully re-released by Frozen Plasma, breathing new life into the song. With a small chorus that reminds me of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall”, the song takes on a surprisingly youthful feel that perfectly captures the urgency of the present day. Nothing against the new version, it’s brilliantly produced and highly topical, but I don’t think this version will replace the club classic at your favourite disco in the long run.

Lyrics of "Frozen Plasma – Warmongers 2026"
Hey yo trooper
Hey yo trooper
I will fight
Hey you trooper, you're the coolest kid in town
Join the war machine and fight on foreign ground
Our intentions are righteousness and peace
This can be your show, go feed the weaponry
Go and give your life for God and fatherland
The mysteries of war will lie in your hand
Our reinforcements are waiting to invade
Help us run down the roaches of this world
Take your rifle and fight for your right
(Take your rifle and fight for your right)
Take your rifle and fight for your right
(Take your rifle and fight for your right)
Hey liberator from far off (Far off)
Do something you can be proud of (Proud of)
Take your rifle and fight for your right
Love your platoon and enjoy your fight
Patriots we will reward you (Reward you)
Our nation will be so proud of you (Proud of you)
Take your rifle and fight for your right (Fight for your right)
Love your platoon and enjoy your fight
Hey yo trooper, you're the coolest kid in town
Hey yo trooper, you're the coolest kid in town
Hey yo trooper, you're the coolest kid in town
Hey yo trooper, you're the coolest kid in town
We choose to fight
Heroes and crusaders, enjoy your stay
Hear our slogans, let us feed your brain
Patriots listen, we need you to volunteer
Soon your final destination will be clear
Hey you trooper, you're the coolest kid in town
Join the war machine and fight on foreign ground
Our intentions are righteousness and peace
This can be your show, go feed the weaponry
Take your rifle and fight for your right

Take your rifle and fight for your right
(Take your rifle and fight for your right)
