Mary: If this is what we're fighting for If this is the way we begin With the innocent dying, the whole nation crying If this is how we fight our wars Then I don't want to win
We say that justice is our aim But what does that justice mean? Condemned without trial, no chance of denial To cripple men in freedom's name Is utterly obscene
If men must die, we must ask why Their murder is not a sin Though our cause is just, we betray its trust If this is what we're fighting for I don't want to win
If unity's the thing we crave Then who will be unified? The bitter and grieving, no cause to believe in There'll be one nation in the grave Uniting those who die
Holy wars, settling scores Ancient deaths to call in We just love to kill, and we always will
If hatred's all we're fighting for Then I don't want to win I don't want to win
