Last thing we ever wanted was a war
Last thing we ever wanted
Last thing we ever wanted was a war
But we found it much too easy
Last thing we ever wanted

The everything
Comes sliding in
Leviathan far too big to understand
By design and unpopular demand
Their game is long, they made it so
Their engineers could take it slow
They took it just the same
All the people sing

Last thing we ever wanted was a war
Last thing we ever wanted
Last thing we ever wanted was a war
But we found it much too easy
Last thing we ever wanted

It's on the shelf
Look for yourself
All the pennies, hammered into swords
And the penniless, that they’re pointing towards
There's no time for dissent
We sold it off to pay the rent
So off to work we go!
All the people sing

Last thing we ever wanted was a war
Last thing we ever wanted
Last thing we ever wanted was a war
But we found it much too easy
Last thing we ever wanted

Last thing, last thing, last thing
That we wanted
