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
