REASON IN RECESSION

Reason's gone into recession
When grown men play those games of little boys
Saying 'My gun is bigger than your gun,
Biggest and best of all the toys'

And reason's gone into recession
When reality and fantasy depart
Won't somebody tell those leaders of men
We're looking for a brand new start'

How long must we waste the flower of youth
On the altar of old men's hate?
And the reasons sound so plausible
For God, King, Country or State

And reason's gone into recession
When reality and fantasy depart
Won't somebody tell those leaders of men
We're looking for a brand new heart?
