WAR
RAGING INSIDE

A
On the fourth day of October
the slaughterhouses never close
On the fourth some
laboratory test animal gets its lethal dose
G
Like all the other days of
the year the zoo is opening its gate
A
To display pitiful helpless
creatures in an often deplorable state
G
F
E
Better get on level, we’re
dragging our feet
D
A
B
E
We’re draining the planet,
we need more than we need
Chorus:
A
And the war keeps raging
inside
E
Through your daily business
A
A nervous wife, hyper active
kids
E
And too long on the
job
D
And they said :
fight
A
E
You can get as rich as
Nabob
A
And agression keeps lurking
inside
E
In your everpresent
longing
A
For status through means of
money
E
You war-mongering
fool
D
E
It aint’t what you have,
it’s what you are
A
Go back to
school
On the 25th of December the
white world proclaims its 2 day peace
And one talks about decent
manners
But who are we to say
that only we are into the right
thing
When others struggle and
strive to survive
Because the climate’s
getting grim
Better get on level
(etc.)
Chorus:
And the war keeps raging inside
(etc.)
The fight for the right to
work is over, facts overtook the workingman’s dream
Though too many can’t get
figured out
What is already
real
Expansion can’t go on
forever
The sky’s the limit is a
lie
Either we choose for
destruction
Or get together by and
by
Better get on level
(etc.)
Chorus:
And the war keeps raging
(etc.)
