the battleships dock at the harbour
the bomber planes do fancy tricks
the blood filters through the poppies

we close our eyes and fire our guns
we shake hands and stab our backs
we smile to the jaws of death

so cry for all your good times
so laugh until you choke on blood
so sound the siren and raise the flag

is this peace worth fighting for
