You can sow a lie
You can do or die
But "fields of red and green are mine"
You can build with stone
You can break young bones
But "all comes back to me in time”
	
Jack fell down and broke his crown         
Nothing would put Jack together again
Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust
All you think you’ve done will go the same

You can shatter lives
Like broken ice
Taking life to save your own
Do you feel strong?
Know right from wrong?
You’ll reap the dust you have sown

See the chains that hold you up
Don’t you know they’re bound to pull you down
Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust
All you think you’ve done will go the same

Jenny blushed*
Behind her fan
And thus she did declare her mind
Cherry pie is very nice, she said
So is apple wine
But she will wear the brown of her kind 

Your time, your life magnificent
Will cost, your precious peace of mind
Ivy’s growing over, and lilies scent does smother
All that’s dust, all that’s left, of humankind

*This verse is paraphrased from the ancient nursery rhyme The Marriage of Cock Robin and Jenny Wren.  Jenny is offered the apparel of a goldfinch or a peacock for her wedding to Cock Robin but in her modesty declines, and is true to herself. Jenny Wren is kind of a contrast to the vanity of leaders who start wars, which is the  subject of this song.
