This Is War

This is war, this is unprovoked attack
This is war with your no-fly-zone intact
With your non-aggression pact
And your hostage in the back
Careless talk will cost more than limbs and lives
This is war where the satellites are spies
Where there’s nowhere left to hide
From co-ordinated strikes
This is war

And peace belongs to bodies that can’t be found
Ministers will try to live the whole thing down
Peace belongs to bodies that can’t be found

This is war on the beaches, in the streets
This is war where the victor knows defeat
With her corgis by her feet
Laughing on the toilet seat
This is war

And peace belongs to bodies that can’t be found
Ministers will try to live the whole thing down
