Georgy Porgy Pudding and Pie
kiss your love and make it die
all the soldiers gonna play
shooting people out the way

not
much fun
on the dole

16 years old
and not even
enough money
for
durex

then I saw
this POSTER

beer and games
and nickerless dames
what more
could soldiers get
paid for

(smiling faces
smiling purses
and though
I searched

I couldn't find
any smiling
hearses)

Inside
a discotheque face
with
heavy band hat

put lips
in my
ear

and said
I was needed to save this green land
and that there was

nothing
to
fear

as truth lay dead
in a
mushroom cloud
of beer

so you pick up your gun
for killing is fun
and the flames in your soul
hide the sighs.
