© 2003 Music & Lyrics by Mark Nichols

GOD
It’s time now to lift a hand and set the plot in motion
Tragedy has a way of testing man’s devotion
For he who in his daily life might never ever pray
Will say Hail Mary if a bomb is coming his way.

GOD and DEVIL
It’s time to raise the stakes
It’s time to raise the stakes
Give our theater piece some legs
It’s time to make the stage
It’s time to build the set.
We’re talking ‘bout WAR!

CHORUS and JOE (as part of a sarcastic protest)
War! War! War! War!
Give me a lovely war (Repeat)
Let the fun and games begin
It’s always best to start a war
That neither side can win!
Come on all you atheists
Get in your foxholes now!
Fatcats sit in penthouse pentagons
Dreaming of toys t
heir boys pull triggers on (repeat)
It’s good verses evil
It’s black versus white
I love against anger
It’s wrong verses right
If neither side will bend,
They should fight until the end
It’s war! War!

JOE
I heard the big explosion.
A blinding flash of melody
And then I got the notion
That this would be a T-T-T-T-Tragedy
Don’t need no records in the shelter
To hear a radiation Symphony
A psychedelic smelter. Blister me with

CHORUS and JOE
Har-mo-ny.
