For those who died in the so-called "War to End All Wars"

lyrics

Bombed last night, bombed the night before
Gonna get bombed tonight some more
Huddled with the lads in this man made hell
Dream another dream when all was well
Warning us, they're warning us
One shell hole for the four of us
Thank your lucky stars there's no more of us
So one of us will fill it alone

Bells of hell go ting-a-ling
Ringing for you and me
The devil has a song he sings with glee
Oh Death, where is thy sting-a-ling
O Grave, thy victory
When the bells of hell are calling for you and me

Gassed last night, gassed the night before
Gonna get gassed tonight some more
Huddled with the lads still breathing air
Dreaming of a time when life was fair
Killing us, they're killing us
One respirator for the four of us
Thank your lucky stars we can all run fast
So none of us will take it alone

Shot last night, shot the night before
Gonna get shot tonight some more
Huddled with the lads who are still around
Thinking of the ones who got gunned down
Pushing us, they're pushing us
Over the top for the four of us
Thank your bloody stars we'll all die quick
So none of us will suffer alone

The Snallygasters Baltimore, Maryland

Named after the mythical monster of Maryland folklore, the Snallygasters began in late 2008 as a synthesis of such seemingly disparate influences as the Sex Pistols, Rainbow, the Cockney Rejects, Thin Lizzy, Slade, and the Clash. As such, the band plays music that is at once familiar but also hard to pigeonhole into any existing sub-genre of punk rock. ... more
