[00:00.50]Once upon a time in the land of hushabye
[00:03.35]Around about the wondrous days of yore
[00:06.38]I came across a sort of box
[00:08.31]Bound up with chains and locked with locks
[00:11.35]And labelled kindly do not touch it's war
[00:17.18]Decree was issued round about
[00:18.55]All with a flourish and a shout
[00:20.63]And a gaily coloured mascot tripping lightly on before
[00:24.37]Don't fiddle with this deadly box or
[00:25.93]Break the chains or pick the locks
[00:28.59]And please don't ever play about with war
[00:33.44]Well the children understood
[00:35.68]Children happen to be good
[00:37.79]They were just as good around the time of yaw
[00:40.58]They didn't try to pick the locks
[00:41.99]Or break into that deadly box
[00:44.24]They never tried to play about with war
[00:47.70]Mummies didn't either
[00:48.90]Sisters aunts grannies neither
[00:50.80]Cause they were quiet and sweet
[00:54.13]And pretty in those wondrous days of yaw
[00:57.51]Well very much the same as now
[01:00.71]Not the ones to blame somehow
[01:02.74]For opening up that deadly box of war
[01:06.66]But someone did
[01:09.15]Someone battered in the lid
[01:11.49]And spilled the insides out across the floor
[01:14.61]A sort of bouncy bumpy ball made up
[01:16.87]Of guns and flags and all the tears
[01:18.60]And horror and the death that goes with war
[01:22.95]It bounced right out
[01:23.97]And went bashing all about
[01:25.50]And bumping into everything and stored
[01:27.43]And what was sad and most unfair is
[01:29.44]That it didn't seem to care who much it bumped
[01:32.53]Or why or what or for
[01:38.21]It bumped the children mainly
[01:41.01]And I'll tell you this quite plainly
[01:43.20]It bumps them every day and more and more
[01:46.17]And leaves them dead and burned and dying
[01:48.30]Thousands of them sick and crying
[01:51.45]Cause when it bumps it's really very sore
[01:59.02]Now theres a way to stop the ball
[02:00.98]It isn't difficult at all
[02:02.37]All it takes is wisdom I'm absolutely
[02:05.19]Sure that we could get it back into the box
[02:08.81]And buy the chains and lock the locks
[02:12.44]No one seems to want to save the children any more
[02:17.45]Well thats the way it all appears
[02:20.89]Cause it's been bouncing round for years and years
[02:24.61]In spite of all the wisdom wiz since
[02:26.46]Those wondrous days of yaw
[02:29.40]And the time they came across the box
[02:32.47]Bound up with chains and locked with locks
[02:36.39]And labelled kindly do not touch it's war
