NO MORE WAR

Why are we fighting

NO MORE WAR

There goes my friends marching off to war

Still don’t know what the hell we’re fighting for

Some will survive

But others must die

No we don’t want to fight anymore

Will see some of my friends for the last time

Oh it feels like life is such a crime

They will be no parade

Same old masquerade

But a lot of people say it will be fine

Please help us to try and understand

Why we have to go to another land

They say that it’s right

For us to fight

Cause we’ve got to lend a helping hand

Now it’s time for our soldiers to be coming home

Oh Lord a lot of them will be left alone

War is just a lie

To many people die

But now you have to face the fact your friends are gone
