The Ministry of Defence

This is the Ministry Of Defence Stairs and walls are all that's left Mortar holes let through the air Kids do the same thing everywhere They’ve sprayed graffiti in Arabic And balanced sticks in human shit This is the Ministry Of Remains (this is the ministry of defence) Fizzy drinks cans and magazines (Fizzy drinks cans and magazines) Broken glass, a white jawbone Syringes, razors, a plastic spoon Human hair, a kitchen knife And a ghost of a girl who runs and hides Scratched in the wall in biro pen This is how the world will end There’s the bus depot to the right (there’s the bus depot to the right) Levelled like a building site (levelled like a building site) Those are the children's cries from the dark These are the words written under the arch Scratched in the wall in biro pen This is how the world will end
