[Chorus 1] Securing the peace then preparing for war And the people don`t know what they`re fighting for Securing the peace then preparing for war And the people don`t know what they`re fighting for. [Verse 1] In peacetime some bury their fathers In war time some bury their son`s The dead are all labelled as martyrs And the living inherit the bullet and the gun. [Chorus 2] Securing the peace then preparing for war And the people don`t know what they`re fighting for Securing the peace then preparing for war And the people don`t know what they`re fighting for. [Verse 2] N.C If religious crusade is your calling N.C Ask your god if he`ll stop the bombs falling N.C On the heads Of the poor that were shattered today N.C They were wailing so load you can`t hear yourself think. [Chorus 3] Securing the peace then preparing for war And the people don`t know what they`re fighting for Securing the peace then preparing for war N.C And the people don`t know what they`re fighting for. [Verse 3] N.C N.C To say the war is fought for peace sounds cynically sadistic. [Saxophone Middle] N. [Verse 3] N.C Take your prayers and take your blaspheming Take the graves where the mothers are screaming You can`t convince me that you feel the loss The last real Christian you killed on the cross. [Chorus 4] Securing the peace then preparing for war And the people don`t know what they`re fighting for Securing the peace while preparing for war And the people don`t know what they`re fighting for. [Verse 4] And while the world plays hide and seek To cover up the violence Innocence claims the right to speak. And guilty the right to silence. [Saxophone Middle 2] [Outro] N.C Securing the peace while preparing for war N.C Securing the peace while preparing for war Securing The peace while preparing for war And the people don`t know what they`re fighting for Securing the peace when preparing for war N.C And the people don`t know what they`re fighting for.
