Ghosts and Goblins
The world is far from being a perfect place
Pretty sure that's a well known fact
If it was, world peace would be the name of the game
Instead of killing and unprovoked attacks
It's hard to imagine what that would be like
It hasn't ever happened before
It sure would take a whole lot of getting used to
So foreign, a world without wars
What would we do with our war machine
Dismantle it and sell it for scrap
With no further wars, countries aligned as one
No need for any of that crap
Is this old guy dreaming, did I nod off for a while
Better belt myself on the noggin
If I happen to survive for another hundred years
More likely to see ghosts and goblins
