War Songs

They've tried to bury him before his time Just needed one more special day There are so many things that must be done Before going upon his way So young at heart with so many years His chapter had just begun Come war and dismay and he'd have to fight He'd use music instead of a gun War, there's no way to win it, war, it's so unforgiving There's no solution can't you hear me singing? War songs Fighting the storms and sailing the seas Losing men in the sands of the East Diamonds bleed red and water run's black To the people they promise more peace With the raping of queens and the pillaging Can you hear the world calling your name? Don't need your secret plans or your government Don't want no a part of your war games Coming with guns as they watch you run As your heart it beats like a drum There are too many wars with unsettled scores While trying to be number one So young at heart with so many years A chapter had just begun Come war and dismay and he'd have to fight He'd use music instead of a gun So many wars so many nations, we don't need no guns or bombs give us education The price we pay is getting higher, for every life we take or gun we fire
