The War Song
[Chorus]
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
People fill the world
With narrow confidence
Like a child at birth
A man with no defense
What's mine is my own
I won't give it to you
[Chorus]
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
Now we're fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Won't somebody help me?
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
Man is far behind
In the search for something new
Like a Philistine
We're burning witches too
This world of fate
Must be designed for you
[Chorus]
It matters what you say
It matters what you do
Now we're fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Won't somebody help me?
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
After the bird has flown
He walked ten thousand
Miles back home
You can't do that to me, no
You can't do that to me
You can't do that to me, no
You can't do that to me
In this heart of mine
I find a place for you
For black or white
For all the children, too
[Chorus]
Now we're fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Won't somebody help me?
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
