This World Over Lyrics

    Ah well, that's this world over
    Ah well, next one begins

    Will you smile like any mother
    As you bathe your brand new twins?
    Will you sing about the missiles
    As you dry odd numbered limbs?

    Ah well, that's this world over
    Ah well, next one begins
    Ah well, that's this world over
    You sadly grin

    Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land
    About their leader with the famous face?
    Will you tell them that the reason nothing ever grows
    In the garden anymore
    Because he wanted to win the craziest race
    That's this world over

    Will you smile like any father
    With your children on a sunday hike?
    When you get to a sea of rubble
    And they ask ``what was london like?''

    You tell them, ``ah well, that's the world over''

    Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land
    And how a child to the virgin came?
    Will you tell them that the reason why we murdered
    Everything upon the surface of the world
    So we can stand right up and say we did it in his name?

    That's this world over
    Or so it seems
    That's this world over
    The end of dreams

    That's this world over, over, over and out.
