why can't we have a
virtual war
then least i'd know
what we're fighting for
virtual war
will never break your heart
virtual reality
can't tear us apart
battle lines drawn
on the tv screen
sit in your living room
and turn down the screams
virtual bombs virtual guns
virtual mothers
losing virtual sons
virtual families comin' all undone
soldiers can fight this fight
sleep in their own beds
nothing but hopes and dreams
dancing through their heads
soldiers only duty
a virtual tour
virtual horrors
a virtual war
sure it's not as thrilling
doing battle from your bed
but one thing i know for sure
you ain't gonna end up dead
how many women
how many men
look it says USA
we've won again
christmas is coming
and i know just what to do
an x-box for every president
and one for me and you
use our technology
to change ideology
a love and peace reality
let war be the casualty
how many women
how many men
look it says USA
we've won again
virtual bombs virtual guns
virtual mothers
losing virtual sons
virtual families comin' all undone
this is the only war that can be won
turn off your tv and it's done
throw down your hatred throw down your guns
fathers should get to keep their sons
fathers should get to keep their sons
fathers should get to keep their sons
