One man raises his sword in the air
The other strikes up the match
Boom the cannon goes!
The tanks stroll through the grass,
Crushing everything that is beneath
Boom the turret goes!
The planes whistle in the sky
And their hatches open wide
Boom the bomb goes!
Gather around the table
Discuss the conditions
Shake their hands for peace.
Dip in that ink
Strike with the pen
Sign the treaty for peace.
Raise the white flag
Hold up your hands
Surrender your land for peace.
