Don't worry it's only a war

There’s a sinister dark cloud above us

Shaped like a giant atom bomb

The drums of war beat loud and fast

 The generals, politicians and arms dealers

Will of course be the last

To reach the front

The TV moguls play their part

Pouring out military fiction

Flooding the screens with bravery

Just like the robber barons

Who were praised for creating slavery

The victims had no voice or choice

Conscription is on the tip of a tongue

The shadows of the ghouls are close

There’s too many teenagers having fun

And our masters demand that they die

In a trench on their own next to their gun

The depopulation battle has been won.
