Cannot Be
Cannot Be
The men with the guns do all the bad things
From shooting one another dead
To blasting innocent people for fun

HANDGUNS
The handguns took such little space
at the military fair in their glass topped case.
Would that I could have lifted the glass

Guns baby...
Knife fight in a fucking phone box.
Helmet mounted sights, off bore sight missiles.
Death...
of pilot and jet.

Yankee terror bombers fly overhead to bomb our cities and our military targets.

Where can I start, but the young ones, their hearts
Ar...
