Lyrics

Don't pass out the rifles or pass round the grenades
Peace is all we want but we're moving into a war-age
They say the army needs you but there's no battle going on
Fighting and killing is no solution, we need a better constitution

Please don't try to shoot me, I'm not your enemy
Everyone should stick together and fight the infantry
Destruction brings pain, this town is burning
For a state of normality I'm searching

1000 rifles wait out there
If they are discovered take care
They should be left to perish
So civilisation doesn't diminish
