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

F                          C 
  They've sprayed graffiti, in Arabic 
D                     E 
  And balanced sticks, in human shit 

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

F              C 
  Broken glass, a white jawbone 
D                  E 
  Syringes, razors, a plastic spoon 
F            C 
  Human hair, a kitchen knife 
D                       E 
  And a ghost of a girl, who runs and hides 
D                          D         A   A 
  Scratched in the wall in, biro pen 
D                 D 
  This is how the, world will end 

Solo  A  A  A  A  A 

A                       A 
  There's the bus depot, to the right 
A                 A 
  Levelled like a, a building site 

F                          C 
  Those are the children's, cries from the dark 
D                     E 
  These are the words, writ under the arch 
F                       C 
  Scratched in the wall, in biro pen 
D                 E               A  A 
  This is how the, world will end
