this world over
Oh well, that's this world over  Oh 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 off numbered limbs?   Oh well, that's this world over  Oh well, next one begins  Oh 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?'  Oh well, that's this world over Oh well, next one begins, it begins, it begins Oh well, that's this world over You sadly grin   Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land  And how a child to the virgin came? Whoa 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  But that's this world over  The end of dreams   That's this world over, over, over and out That's this world over, over, over and out
