1
A hundred men went off to war
2
A hundred men
3
Their hearts were heavy, their heads were high
4
As they kissed the ones they loved goodbye
5
Some were eager some were scared
6
Nobody knew and nobody cared
7
When a hundred men went to war
8
Then a thousand men went off to war
9
A thousand men
10
A few now said that it wasn't right
11
And a few said prayers in their beds at night
12
But of those so eager and those so scared
13
A few now knew a few now cared
14
When a thousand men went off to war
15
Ten thousand men!
16
Then a million men went off to war
17
A million men
18
Now fear came a'creeping down many a street
19
Borne on the dust of a million feet
20
And many now said that it wasn't right
21
And many said prayers in their beds at night
22
When ten million men went to war!
23
Then all mankind went off to war
24
Yes all mankind!
25
And the people fought
26
And the people cried
27
And the people prayed
28
But the people died
29
And fear like a flood covered every street!
30
Mixed with the blood on a billion feet!
31
All now said that it wasn't right
32
And prayed as one through the fiery night
33
Their hearts were heavy as they watched the sun
34
And kissed the ones they loved goodbye
35
Now none were eager but all were scared
36
Now they knew that they should have cared
37
When a hundred men went off to war
38
A hundred men
