    Lyrics
    Listen to the War

    Couldn't find a job today
    No-one wanted to give me pay
    Went back home and closed the door
    Thought I'd tune in to the War

    Francis Tusa, Peter Snow
    Tell us where the money go
    Mark Laity and Mr.Lee
    Think you'll be the death of me

    Anxious mothers, lovers dear
    Tell us what we need to hear
    Tell us what to look forward for
    When we tune in to the War

    In a place behind the news
    Where they pick you for your views
    Where they choose you for your face
    Another war is taking place

    Couldn't find a job today
    No-one wanted to give me pay
    But there's always something to look forward for
    When they schedule another War
