lyrics

Garden Shed not Bloodshed

If BAE systems made slug traps
Rather than weapons of war
Instead of collateral damage
There’d be carrots and cabbage galore
If Lockheed Martin were busy
Tending their wildflower lawn
There’d be no time left to make spy planes
Stealth fighters and nuclear bombs.

If everyone planted a fruit bush
On the land that was their birthright
They’d be so busy stuffing their faces with fruit
There’d be no time left over to fight
Instead of landmines
Could be planted grape vines
At least people would only get legless on wine
We could work something out
A solution would sprout
On gardeners question time.

If suicide bombers were armed with
A hoe and a rake and some seeds
Instead of slaughtering infidels
They could concentrate on the weeds
Alive and content at the end of the day
Scraping the mud from their shoes
If Hitler’d been busy manuring his leeks
Would he have killed six million Jews?
