Whose the good guys?
Whose the bad guys?
awrightaready!
Who knows! Who cares!
What is meant by 'just' peace?
Isn't it just peace?
Under the bombs for so many years
The French, The Chinese, The Americans
white green blue black orange red
Even pink I think
The napalm stink
Of burning bodies impressing the air with fear...
