about

From the 2011 début 'Long Walk Home' EP. I will donate any 2022 proceeds from this song to UNICEF's fundraising efforts to help children in two of the most war-torn countries in the world currently: Ukraine and Yemen. It costs £1 or you can pay what you like.

Alternatively, you can donate direct to UNICEF below:

DONATE TO YEMEN APPEAL DIRECT HERE:

War is always evil, always stupid and always completely avoidable - when the will is there and when that will is stronger than the sociopathic warmongering class's lust for power, money and control. Be the change, etc. Peace xx

lyrics

When The War Is Won
-------------------------------
I can’t believe what I’m seeing
This should appal every thinking human being
There’s no tuning out of this one
The usual bout of killing has begun

They say: “Trust in the web that we’ve spun
You will be free only when the war is won”
It ought to be clear by now
There really is no glory or way out
There never is - it’s never been in doubt

How do you sleep at night?
When all of your conscience has gone
Do you not need anyone?
And when will the madness end?
When all of our hope is long gone?
You’re murdering everyone

I could believe what I’m told
I could betray all humanity for black gold
I could be king in my mind
Imperial, moronic and resigned (x2)

How do you sleep at night?
Now all of your conscience has gone
Do you not love anyone?
And when will your madness end?
When all of our hope is long gone?
You’re shepherding everyone to war
Under a guilty cloud
Whatever you do to our light
Somehow it still lives on

It still lives on
It still lives on
It lives on
It lives on
It lives on
