— The natives are restless tonight, sir — Cooped up on estates with nmo hope in sight — They
Need some kind of distraction — We can give them that — And they’d kill if they only had
Something to kill for — They’s die if they only had something to die for — They’d cheer if they
Only had something to cheer for — We can give them that — So it’s off to war we go (I couldn’t
Believe it) — Bring out all the flags (I never believed it) — Fight the good fight
— Sir, it’s working like a dream — Half the nation are hooked on the bait — Waiting for the next
Victorious instalment — We can give them that — ‘Cos it’s no surprise that young men are
Heroes — It’s no surprise that young men are strong — It’s no surprise that young men are
Foolish — We’ve known that all along — Exciting pictures on News at Ten (I couldn’t believe it)
— Read all the crap on all the front pages (I never believed it) — Fight the good fight
Ch: — Dead men in the South Atlantic — It’s meant to warm our hearts — They think that they
Died for you and me — Oh God, what a farce, what a farce

Pictures again and again — ‘Till the next war comes around — ‘Cos we’ll kill if we only have
Something to kill for — We’ll die if we only have something to die for — We’ll cheer if we only
Have something to cheer for — That is worthy of the name — Oh yes the next war (I never
Believed it) — See the propaganda in TV fiction (I never believed it) — Enemies with horns and tails
Ch: — Dead men in the South Atlantic — It’s meant to warm our hearts — To think they died for
You and me — Oh God. what a farce — There’s crippled men back home in England — Doesn’t it
Warm your hearts — They think they fought for peace and freedom — Poor boys, what a farce,
What a farce
