Little Boys Big Toys

 

Verse 1

Children with tin hats

War games in the park

Shooting with wooden guns

What could be the harm

 

Little bodies pretend bullets

No politics involved

Arm in arm they go home

Friendship not spoilt

 

Verse 2

Teens with flick knives

Gangs in the alley

Arguing over pointless turf

Nothing that really matters

 

Budding brutal leaders

Armies gathered round

Loud music playing

Blood stains the ground

 

Chorus

Little boys, little toys

Soldiers in the sand

Jockeying for position

Laughter all around

 

Little boys, big toys

Soldiers in their hands

Jockeying for position

Death all around

 

Verse 3

Suited business leaders

Killing with greed

Cheque books at ten paces

Profit their only need

 

Climbing to the top

On other bodies laid waste

They scan the empires created

Money their only taste

​

Verse 4

Little boys big egos

Red buttons under finger

Dangerous threats escalate

Spectre of death lingers

 

Bullet no longer pretend

World politics involved

Coffins lined up ready

For humanity destroyed

 

Chorus

Little boys, little toys

Soldiers in the sand

Jockeying for position

Laughter all around

 

Little boys, big toys

Soldiers in their hands

Jockeying for position

Death all around
