Lest We Forget
If we don’t want to fight
Why do we make weapons so right
And we plot and scheme
About defeating an enemy as our dream
So we stagger from one war to the next one
With death and destruction never quite done
Each generation never learns of peace on earth
Just Lest we forget for what it’s worth
And the old lie is told again and again
It is good and proper to die for one’s country.
