    Ballad - New Model Army (from 'The Ghost of Cain')
    ------
    
    There are three parts, labelled I, II, III; III is a bridge between 
    II and I. They're all played on the bottom three strings only.

    Words:-
    
    I
    When they look back at us and they write down their history
    What will they say about our generation?
    We're the ones who knew everything, still we did nothing
    Harvested everything, planted nothing
    
    Well we lived pretty well in the wake of the goldrush
    Floating in comfort on waves of our apathy
    Quietly knawing away at Her body
    Until we mortgage the future, bury our children
    
    II
    Storehouses full of the fruits we've been given
    We send off the scragends to suckle the starving
    But still we can't feed this strange hunger inside
    Greedy, restless, unsatisfied
    
    III
    
    I
    
    I was never much one for the great "big bang" theory
    Going out in a blaze of suicidal glory
    Not foolish and brave these leaders of ours
    Just stupid and petty, unworthy of power
    
    II
    
    Just a little leak here and a small error there
    Another square mile poisoned forever
    A series of sad and pathetic little fizzles
    And out go the lights, never to return.
    
    III
    
    I
    
    The affair it is over, the passion is dead
    She stares at us now with ice in Her eyes
    But we turn away from these bitter reproaches
    And take up distractions to forget what we're doing
    
    Well I stand on these hills and I watch Her at night
    A thousand square miles and a million orange lights
    Wounded and scarred, She lies silent in pain
    Raped and betrayed in the cold acid rain
    
    II
    
    And I wish and I wish and I wish and I wish
    We could start over again
    Yes I wish and I wish and I wish and I wish
    We could win back Her love once again.
