Lyrics for War's No Fairytale

Government and queen are your only enemies Donít be fooled by their plastic smiles War's no fairytale, Guns and bombs aren't f**king toys They don't wanna know your views of war They never stop to think about you War's no fairytale, Guns and bombs aren't f**king toys They want you kept in the darkness of the realities of war War's no fairytale, Guns and bombs aren't f**king toys Meat flung yards apart from bodies Are typical sights of war War's no fairytale, Guns and bombs aren't f**king toys
