they work for us

They work for us the politicians

well that's what they say

thinking of us constantly

working night and day

making life much better

with rises in our pay




our nurses are important

is what politicians say

we look after them

working night and day

and think they work much harder

with no rises in their pay




we want a world of tranquillity

a world of constant peace

so they buy the biggest bomb

the latest masterpiece

annihilation is so threatening

the threat may now decrease




when the bombing starts

in the glorious war

we may need some nurses

more than we did before

but they have gone to better jobs

on a foreign shore
