The general at the radar screen
he should have got the sack
But that wouldn't bring
Three thousand million, seven hundred, and sixty-eight people back,
Would it?

More quotes by Roger McGough

The general at the radar screen
Rubbed his hands with glee,
And grinning pressed the button
And started world war three.

There's the moon trying to look romantic
Moon's too old that's her trouble
Aren't we all?

Wasn't a bad party really
Except for the people

When you are posthumous it is cold and dark
and that is why patriots are a bit nuts in the head

If you fall that's no disgrace
Someone else will take your place
'Old soldiers never die...
... only young ones.
