The War Dead

(work in progress)

Listen to an MP3 which I will put here

Lyrics

All those people who died in a war, Are you really sure what they died for?

Fighting their fellows for some king or queen, The fronts for the money-men behind the scenes

We're told they are heroes so we can be free, To pay for a passport to cross overseas

But gone are the days when the king took the lead, The politic realise they've no need to bleed

Like The War Dead

And many a soldier thinks he's noble indeed, But he commits murder for money men's greed

And all the blood shed in the name of the queen, Means war's a big business to feed the machine

And Britain went bankrupt Eighteen Sixty-Nine, When the bankers took everything off our bottom line

And the debt gets a boost every seventy years, So each generation's presented new fears

And their War Dead

Last time they called it 'The Second World War', This time a 'Credit Crunch', more tax on the poor

So what in two thousand and seventy nine, Will be their excuse to add to the crime?

And you know in your heart the debt will never be paid, But still you keep working to fill some more graves

'cause the fruit of our labour is death overseas, While we eat our pizza's and watch our T.V.'s

Your tax is the fuel for those fires abroad, And all of your “protests” will all be ignored

While some poor “Western” teenager 'saved' from the dole, Gets paid Sixteen Grand to raise the “Eastern” death toll

And fight in a hole, and die on patrol, Through this fear they control, and like slaves we are sold

The bullshit we're told, and who of us knows, How far back it goes, as the debt grows and grows

For the wars you appose,

as your conscience bellows

The all seeing eye glows...

The War Dead
