They are ringing all of the bells now
Like a bombing alarm over the city
But no one is thinking the thought
No one's got the energy to ask questions
And they stare as if the responsibility was mine alone
I who have paid dearly to avoid taking part
And the last letter was sent to an invalid adress
With a stamp worth half an extended care unit
And they shoot all the soldiers to an old song about peace
An entire sea of normal people are singing along
But even a hundred-thousand voices could be wrong
