In The War

A king of foreign country heard some rumours in the night

That some other evil king is now preparing for a fight

He assembles all his generals

And asks them what to do

And with sternness in their eyes they look at him and say it’s true

We’re in the war; oh we’re in the war

We’re in the war; oh we’re in the war

They’re preparing thousand battleships to sail across the sea

And the general ahead them are happy as can be

When they reach the other shore they get a warm embrace

But the generals feel threatened so they shoot them in the face

In the war oh we’re in the war

We’re in the war oh we’re in the war

And in the war you can kill for no reason, it’s no crime

In the war you do the things you always had in mind

In the war you can die

In the war you can cry

In the war, in the war, in the war

And the fairies and the elves are just trying to survive

And the lions and the elephants are running for their lives

And the generals are firing seven hundred cannon balls

But no one understands what all this is for

In the war oh we’re in the war

We’re in the war oh we’re in the war

And in the war you can kill for no reason, it’s no crime

In the war you do the things you always had in mind

In the war you can die

In the war you can cry

In the war, in the war, in the war

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, in the war

Oh, in the war

And now a thousand battle ships are landing on the shore

And one hundred thousand soldiers don’t know what they’re looking for

For they cannot find their enemies, no weapons and no war

So they start to shoot each other

’Cause that’s what they’ve been trained for

In the war oh we’re in the war

We’re in the war oh we’re in the war

And in the war you can kill for no reason, it’s no crime

In the war you do the things you always had in mind

In the war you can die

In the war you can cry

In the war, in the war, in the war

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, in the war
