Daddy Can I Have A War?
Daddy can I have a war?
I had no army before
Let me finish off what you never did
And sell it off for the highest bid
Maybe maybe maybe
The time has come
To spare the mother's babies
Who'll come back numb
Daddy can I have a war?
Our hardware must be paid for
Military mamas dishing the lead
The same hands that tuck 'em in bed
Maybe maybe maybe
The time is here
To spare the father's children
Who'll disappear
Daddy can I have a war?
Because I speak for the Lord
We must remember to preach
(Except turn the other cheek)
