N.CIf religious crusade is your calling, N.CAsk your god if he`ll stop the bombs falling, N.COn the heads Of the poor that were shattered today, N.CThey were wailing so load you can`t hear yourself think.
[Chorus 3]
SecurinCmg the peace then preparing for war, And the people Fdon`t know what they`re fiGmghting for, SecurinCmg the peace then preparing for war, N.CAnd the people don`t know what they`re fighting for.
[Verse 3]
N.CA single death is tragic a million a statistic, N.CTo say the war is fought for peace sounds cynically sadistic.
