When will we learn, The same as before
How quick we forget, we've been here before
Can we make a change this time
It's hard to tell who commits the crimes..
Soldiers lay down your gun
Stop the war going on
Close your eyes to the lies
And come on home
Remember it before
We start another war
Is this the way? Are you sure?
Just come on home
They take our money and build machines
That blow them all to smithereens
If we can kill why can't we heal
the rifts that lie between our ideals?
Soldiers lay down your gun
Stop the war going on
Close your eyes to the lies
and come on home.
Remember it before
We start another war
Is this the way, are you sure?
Just come on home.
I don't like what we've become
You made me write a protest song
We're shouting out but no-one hears
Our message falling on deaf ears
Soldiers lay down your gun
Stop the war going on
Close your eyes to the lies
And come on home
Remember it before
We start another war
Is this the way, are you sure
Come on home…
How quick we forget, we've been here before
Can we make a change this time
It's hard to tell who commits the crimes..
Soldiers lay down your gun
Stop the war going on
Close your eyes to the lies
And come on home
Remember it before
We start another war
Is this the way? Are you sure?
Just come on home
They take our money and build machines
That blow them all to smithereens
If we can kill why can't we heal
the rifts that lie between our ideals?
Soldiers lay down your gun
Stop the war going on
Close your eyes to the lies
and come on home.
Remember it before
We start another war
Is this the way, are you sure?
Just come on home.
I don't like what we've become
You made me write a protest song
We're shouting out but no-one hears
Our message falling on deaf ears
Soldiers lay down your gun
Stop the war going on
Close your eyes to the lies
And come on home
Remember it before
We start another war
Is this the way, are you sure
Come on home…
