[Intro]

B5 B5 B5 B5 B5
B5 B5 B5 B5 B5

[Verse 1]

B5 B5
This is the Ministry, Of Defence
B5 B5
Stairs and walls are, all that's left
B5 B5
Mortar holes let, through the air
B5 B5
Kids do the same thing, everywhere

[Chorus 1]

G5 D5
They’ve sprayed graffiti, in Arabic
A5 F#/A#
And balanced sticks, in human shit

[Verse 2]

B5 B5
This is the ministry, of remains
B5 B5
Fizzy drinks, cans, and magazines

[Chorus 2]

G5 D5
Broken glass, a white jawbone
A5 F#/A#
Syringes, razors, a plastic spoon
G5 D5
Human hair, a kitchen knife
A5 F#/A#
And a ghost of a girl, who runs and hides
E5 E5 B5 B5
Scratched in the wall in, biro pen
E5 E5
This is how the, world will end

[Sax Solo]

[Verse 3]

B5 B5
There’s the bus depot, to the right
B5 B5
Leveled like a, a building site

[Chorus 3]

G5 D5
Those are the children's, cries from the dark
A5 F#/A#
These are the words, writ under the arch
G5 D5
Scratched in the wall, in biro pen
A5 F#/A# B5 B5
This is how the, world will end
