Picking Up the Pieces

War torn battlefields Political flop Who'll pick up the pieces When they've taken what they've got? Blood thirsty animals Scavengers at dawn Who'll pick up the pieces When everything is gone? Disease, decay, rotting flesh Not a word being said Who'll pick up the pieces When everything is dead?
