1
[Chorus:]
2
Securing the peace then preparing for war
3
And the people don't know what they're fighting for
4
Securing the peace then preparing for war
5
And the people don't know what they're fighting for
6
In peacetime sons bury their fathers
7
In war fathers bury their sons
8
The dead are all labeled as martyrs
9
And the living inherit the bullet and the gun
10
If religious crusade is your calling
11
Ask your god if he'll stop the bombs falling
12
On the heads of the poor that were silenced today
13
They were wailing so loud you can't hear yourself pray
14
A single death is tragic, a million a statistic
15
To say the war is fought for peace sounds cynically sadistic
16
Take your prayers and take your blaspheming
17
To the graves where the mothers are screaming
18
You can't convince me that you feel the loss
19
The last real Christian you killed on the cross
20
And while the world plays hide and seek
21
To cover up the violence
22
Innocence claims the right to speak
23
And guilt the right to silence
