The start of war, the start of war.(x5)
Big men talking all of the time
And none of us are sure what they are saying
Take these children by the hand:
Remind them what it is to be just playing
Every day we are fighting wars with people
Who did not cause the start of war.
The start of war, the start of war.
The start of war, the start of war.
The pen is mightier than the sword,
Still we're spilling blood all over the words.
They're words.
As the children say goodbye to their Dads,
Do the news people weep into their hands?
It's absurd.
Every day we are fighting wars with people
Who did not cause the start of war.
The start of war, the start of war.
The start of war, the start of war.
If you are the one
Then one surely you'll be
Warmer than a gun, cracker than an army
It's not war
It's not war
It is us!
Every day we are fighting wars with people
Who did not cause the start of war.
The start of war, the start of war.
The start of war, the start of war.
Every day we are fighting wars with people
Who did not cause the start of war.
