Bm
This is the Ministry Of Defence
Stairs and walls are all that's left
Mortar holes let through the air
Kids do the same thing everywhere

Chorus:
G                        D
They’ve sprayed graffiti, in Arabic
A                   F#  
And balanced sticks,    in human shit

This is the Ministry Of Remains
This is the Ministry Of Remains
Fizzy drinks cans and magazines
Fizzy drinks cans and magazines

Chorus:
Broken glass, a white jawbone
Syringes, razors, a plastic spoon
Human hair, a kitchen knife
And the ghost of a girl who runs and hides

E                                 Bm
Scratched in the wall in biro pen
E
'This is how the world will end'

There’s the bus depot to the right
There’s the bus depot to the right
Levelled like a building site
Levelled like a building site

Chorus:
Those are the children's cries from the dark
These are the words written under the arch
Scratched in the wall in biro pen
'This is how the world will end'
