In an upstairs room in blackpool   By the side of a Northern Sea   The army had my father   And my mother was having me      Military madness   Was killing my country   Solitary sadness   Comes over me      And after the school was over   And I moved to the other side   I found a different country   But I never lost my pride      Military madness   Was killing the country   Solitary sadness   Creeps over me      And after the wars are over   And the body count is finally filed   I hope that man discovers   What's driving the people wild      Military madness   Is killing your country   So much sadness   Between you and me      War, war, war   War, war, war   ...
