On the wall someone chalked "THEY WANT A WAR",
The person who wrote it has already fallen
Those who eat their fill will speak to the hungry
Of wonderful times to come

When they speak of peace War is coming
When they speak of love Hatred is coming
When they speak of life Death is coming
When they speak of hope The end is coming

On the wall someone chalked "THEY WANT A WAR",
The person who wrote it has already fallen
Those at the top say "this way to glory"
Those down below say "this way to the grave"

When they speak of peace War is coming
When they speak of love Hatred is coming
When they speak of life Death is coming
When they speak of hope The end is coming
