The best way to forget the truth is to celebrate the lie
Poppies poppies poppies POPPIES and a big brass band
sea cadets in my home town forty miles inland.
Please dont be swayed to get your feet wet dont be fodder for a war
And you will if you forget.

My mates grandads wife never got his war pension
he got shot on the wrong day
I think there was an R in the month or was it a why (Y)
there's a statue on top of our cenotaph  the Angel of the Somme
thee sea cadets parade around it tiddley um pum pum
Tiddley um pum pum
Pum pum pupum

The best way to forget the truth is  to forget the lie.
i know some guys were heroes in wars but lets not buy into the lie that they died for their country . lets not forget the other heroes like Alan Turing who did more than his bit only to be persuaded to ****** himself because we couldnt allow a homosexual to be seen as a magnificent hero.
s and governments dont exist for the good of the people ,they exist so that warmongers can collect tax to pay for their wars...
I will never forget Harry Patch ,the oldest surving veteran of 2 world wars. who said just before he died in his 90s. War is just organised ******. He should know he was there.
