THE FANTASIES OF MEN

When will it all end?
The fantasies of men
Maybe in the future when
We’ll have to start again

School boys making bombs
A race for nuclear arms
And in some far off land
They killed a man who took a stand

Those who live for greed and war
Will always just want more and more
See what they really have in store
The rich get rich
The poor get poor

When will it all end?
The fantasies of men
Maybe in the future when
We’ll have to start again

Men hijacking planes
While barons make their claims
To fortunes and to fame
Have they all gone insane?

When will it all end?
The fantasies of men
Maybe in the future when
We’ll have to start again

And politicians say
That their’s is the best way
But we’ll all have to pay
If we do not act today

When will it all end?
The fantasies of men
Maybe in the future when
We’ll have to start again

When will we ban together?
When will we ever , ever?
Maybe ,never,never
will we learn to live together

When will it all end?
The fantasies of men
Maybe in the future when
We’ll have to start again

Go on march-ing like sheep
Awake or just asleep
Or one day will we weep
from the joy way down deep
that peace is what we’ll keep
As we sow
Shall we reep

When will it all end?
The fantasies of men
Maybe in the future when
We’ll have to start again
