Dying Day

Going down to the battle site where guns and bullets lay To see the screaming wounded men, it's dying soldiers' day Fight the yellows, fight the reds, shoot all those in sight Fight the wars that were never yours, kill the world tonight Dying day - for without the king, there'll be Dying day - there's no use to look to see Another way - talk of peace never ends Dying day - but the blood sheds instead Take your boots and here's your gun, Take your lunch and wage Here's a piece of ribbon if you're killed while acting brave Hit the sirens, nuke the town, drink the acid rain Peace will be here late next week, ups on train Dying day - for without the king, there'll be Dying day - there's no use to look to see Another way - talk of peace starts the fight Dying day - so the wars go on, that's right Fill the shelters, clear the grounds, missile's on its way No more time to change your mind, brother, it's too late, It's dying day Dying day - the king is the light, your only key Dying day - there's no other way to see Dying day - without him, you've just lost the light Dying day - oh the king, oh the king was right
