Philosophical

Isn't it a pity
were heading towards the end
there's a war without a winner
and no-one left to mend

an idea that's long been buried
by those who run the show
give peace a chance is over
a dream we'll never know

for the dreamers now are silenced
truth they can't afford 
the end days set in motion
resolutions go ignored

isn't it a pity
they hurried us along
made us smart but we're not ready
now we see why that was wrong
 
they watch and wait and wonder
do they save or let us go
are we worth our own salvation
or do we start again... 

all things come to pass
and the day will soon be here
so we smile and make our way
as if we have no fear

Isn't it a pity
isn't it a shame

(R.I.P. George)
