You go for the gun
You're all for defence
They can't harm your pride

You won't run like a child
And you lost your innocence
The day you sent your men


Ref.
Cause you've started a war that shouldn't be

Fighting an imaginary enemy
And you say you do this for the nation's sake
So is killing the best you can do

For the nation

Two arrows crashed into a hive

It woke the bees and made them come alive
And we're flying up here without any power to change
Or any influence


Ref.
Maybe we started a war that shouldn't be

Fighting an imaginary enemy
And we say we do this for the nation's sake
So is killing the best you can do, for the nation


So maybe we should take a second look
We turn our backs

When we accept
Now where needed more than ever
In these battles of the world

Not with weapons
But with love


Ref.
Maybe we started a war that shouldn't be
Fighting an imaginary enemy

Oh, and we say we do this for the nation's sake
So is killing the best you can do
So is killing the best you can do

So is killing the best you can do, for the nation
