The People Have All Gone (It is War)

LILY

[Long intro]

V1 The people have all gone

They’re taken by the soldiers

The men are overseas or buried in the ground

All the girls are hiding in the forest

It’s playing with their lives if they should wait around

CH It is war it is war it is war it is war

It is killing off all that we knew and it’s leaving us raw

It is war it is war it is war it is war

There is no end to the pain and we can’t take any more

[INTERLUDE]

V2 The tourists have all gone the markets are all empty

There’s no-one left behind to see that we are safe

You can try to stand up to injustice

Now we fear we’ll never stand again

CH2 [DOUBLE] It is war it is war it is war it is war

It is killing off all that we knew and leaving us raw

It is war it is war it is war it is war

No-one can even remember what we stand for

It is War it is war it is war it is war

We gotta do something it’s worse than ever before

It is War it is war it is war it is war

There is no end to the pain and we can’t take any more

TAG – [A Maj SECTION]

Gotta go for it

what is my life without making the sacrifice?

We can’t stop being who we are or where we come from

An accident of birth is nothing to decry

We all know our fate is to be sacrificed

Upon the altar of commercial gain and then we know

REPEAT CHORUS it is war …..
