Just see that we get full value Of that for which we have paid. The price has been a heavy one, But the goods are there—and _we've paid-. We've paid in our toil and our woundings; We've paid in the blood we've shed; We've paid in our bitter hardships; We've paid with our many dead. It's not payment in kind we ask for, Two wrongs don't make much of a right. All we ask is—that, what we have paid for, You secure for us, all right and tight. The Peace of the World's what we're after; We've all had enough of King Cain, And the Kaiser and all his bully-men, With their World-Power big on the brain. No!—we fought with a definite object, And it's this—and we want it made plain,— That it's God, and not any devil, That's to rule in the world again,
