Hearing bad news on the radio Telling you that you have to go Smelling the pungent stench of war Tastes like a thousand liters of gore You hear it loud in the street Thousands of marching feet Hearing the sirens screaming shrill Telling you about the creeping kill Creeping kill State of war State of war Machine guns bark their killing song About political decisions which were wrong Feel the unbearable pain in your head Now you're wishing that your were dead If you go out for the fight It will be suicide Women and children cry out in pain The creeping fear drives you insane Drives you insane State of war State of war We're millions and cry out loud Now you'd better take a doubt Politicians know how to make big score They're crying for a new world war You'd better believe that it's too late The end is near, this is your fate It's better for you to believe it fast That this war's gonna be the last Be the last State of war State of war
