They’ve done for us in the M.O.D.,
they’ve done for us to-day.
Land Rovers with no armour
have sent us on our way.

Yes, they’ve done for us in the M.O.D.
no money is what they said;
so they saved themselves a packet,
but that didn’t save the dead.

Oh they’ve done for us in the M.O.D.
with the savings that they found,
but their budgets and their spreadsheets
have put us in the ground.

Yes, they’ve done for us in the M.O.D.
with the costs they had to save,
their double firsts in history
have led us to this grave.

So here’s to the boys in the M.O.D.
they know a thing or two;
but when it comes to running wars,
they haven’t got a clue.

Yes they’ve done for us in the M.O.D.
they’ve done for us to-day
Snatch Rovers with no armour
have sent us on our way.
