Where’s your red nose

I hear people say

Aren’t you going

To wear it today

 

Wear your Red Nose

Band Aid will shout

As they gaze at the trucks

That someone burnt out

 

Wear your Red Nose

The politicians roar

As the butter and meat

Pile up in the store

 

Wear your Red Nose

The policeman sighs

As the bomb explodes

And lights up the skies

 

Wear your Red Nose

The newspapers cry

As the grenades whistle

And the bullets fly

 

Wear your Red Nose

The soldiers remark

As they pull on their guns

And go out in the dark

 

Wear your Red Nose

The young man groans

I die for my country

I’m a hero, he moans

 

Wear your Red Nose

The Mothers wait

For word of their sons

For word of their fate

 

Will it make any difference

When this day is done

Will they dismantle the bomb

Lay down the gun

 

Wear your Red Nose

It’s charity day

Wear your Red Nose

I hear them all say
