The Ministry Of Defence Lyrics - The Hope Six Demolition Project - Pj Harvey

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 

They've sprayed graffiti in Arabic 

And balanced sticks in human shit 

This is the Ministry Of Remains (this is the ministry of defence) 

Fizzy drinks cans and magazines (Fizzy drinks cans and magazines) 

Broken glass, a white jawbone 

Syringes, razors, a plastic spoon 

Human hair, a kitchen knife 

And a ghost of a girl who runs and hides 

Scratched in the wall in biro pen 

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) 

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
