[Intro]
(Ah, one, two, three, four)
 
[Verse 1]
In an upstairs room in Blackpool
By the side of a northern sea
The army had my father
And my mother was having me

[Chorus]
Military madness
Was killing my country
Solitary sadness
Comes over me

[Verse 2]
And after the school was over
And I moved to the other side
I found another country
But I never lost my pride

[Chorus]
Military madness
Was killing the country
Solitary sadness
Creeps over me
[Verse 3]
And after the wars are over
And the body count is finally filed
I hope The Man discovers
What's driving the people wild

[Chorus]
Military madness
Is killing our country
So much sadness
Between you and me

[Outro]
War, war
War, war
War, war
War, war
War, war
War, war
War, war
War, war
War, war
War, war
