Lyrics for Military Madness

Ah, one, two, three, four 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 After the school was over And I moved to the other side I found another 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 The Man discovers What's driving the people wild Military madness Is killing our country So much sadness Between you and me War, war, war, war War, war War, war War, war War, war War, war War, war War, war War, war War, war
