Lyrics for The War
So now we talk about destruction 'Bout the way that we might go I've seen the headlines in the papers The truth is more than we should know Somebody wake me from this nightmare Is this a TV horror show? We can run and we can walk We can sit and we can talk But we won't stop the war, oh no Silent whispers in the ice-machine today Calling for my brain in silent ways No more changes in this world in which we live in And I don't know who the guy is Who's talking with the friendly grin I never heard of any bargain I didn't know what's goin' on We can shout and we pray It doesn't matter anyway We won't stop the war Somehow I might go insane Somehow I might lose my brain Somehow I might not even care And somehow I never ever will accept The way that things are going We can run and we can walk We can sit and we can talk But we won't stop the war, oh no We won't stop the war, oh no, no
