Cenotaph

I have built an air raid shelter, got some food and clothes

Radiation suit for the fall out and a bullet just in case

I hope and pray the God of love is on my side

There’s talk of war in the air this morning

They’re ringing bells in the House of Lords

Lay your wreath at the Cenotaph

And if you want peace prepare for war

I’ve got a white flag of surrender and a pick and a spade

I’ve got some morphine for the pain and a white cross for the grave

As I wait for the God of peace to save

There’s talk of war in the air this morning

They’re ringing bells in the House of Lords

Lay your wreath at the Cenotaph

And if you want peace prepare for war

As I pray for the God of love and to heal

There’s talk of building a wall around us

To save us from the infidel

They’re folding flags in the cemeteries

And if you want peace prepare for war

I’m prepared for the ending and the time that is left

I’ve made my will and testament

Through the blood I’ll come again

There’s talk of war in the air this morning

They’re ringing bells in the House of Lords

Lay your wreath at the Cenotaph

And if you want peace prepare for war
