This song combines a reflection of the consequences of warfare for the people of Afghanistan and Ukraine with the titles of 50 or so songs and albums which form the lyrics. You might like to listen and guess which ones you recognize but here below are the lyrics:

Refugees in transit on the road of bones
Searching for an exodus from a game of thrones.
Exile on a main street, exit just in sight
The fearless must endure a hard day’s night.

Living in a glass house on the eve of wars
Human desperado, clutching at straws.
Night spent in absentia, too late for the sky;
Days of future passed, ready to die.

Too late registration, doomsday afternoon,
Living in the past upon the dark side of the moon.
So here come the warm jets, brothers in arms
Ranks of Eden louder than the bombs

The power and the glory, the end of innocence,
There’s a riot going on, things stop making sense,
In a downward spiral, lost in search of space,
Rock bottom where the hand cannot erase.

MPs talk of queues and cures with images and words,
Hot rats, midnight vultures – evil nightbirds.
We’ll talk about it later – you can dig me out
Meddle in a foxtrot roundabout

In a misplaced childhood, many nursery crimes,
Car wheels on a gravel road, sign of the times,
False romantic warrior stirs a bitches brew;
Violator turns a baby blue.

Pawn hearts of betrayal, each a talking head,
Blind faith that all things must pass when the queen is dead.
Once progressive forces see their passion play:
On the road to nowhere, in a silent way.

Window for the World
