CRUISER'S WAR

 

 

War began, but things just carried on

in this world upon the sea,

As if nothing on earth could threaten

the lives of you and me,

​

We played shuffleboard threw deck quoits

and line danced the morning away,

With nobody stopping to think

we just continued to play,

 

We'd suspended reality

when we boarded our ship of fun,

And nobody thought seriously

about what could happen or might come,

​

One all powerful Nation

thinking it had right upon it's side,

Persuaded others more vulnerable

to join up for the ride

​

Right or wrong the price will be high

and who who'll be left to pay the bill

Families of the young men

buried in far off sand hills.
