a song about how endless war really is endless
Kings chiefs monarchs presidents
greedy for gold oil diamonds dominance
call upon god Mars Allah Hachiman
lie to the people deceive them with a cause to believe in so
Troops tribesman warriors marine cadets
raise up their spears swords rifles bayonets
go to their wives partners maidens newlyweds
say goodbye and to appease promise never to leave them
promise never again never again
never again and again and again
promise never again and again
Ships tanks chariots hovercraft
with signals from scouts radar pigeon telegraph
shoot off their bombs arrows missiles mustard gas
battlefields screaming in terror confusion and horror
'til knights bowman soldiers of lost brigades
are found dead in pits foxholes bunkers shallow graves
come home in urns coffins boxes body bags
left for the loved ones to lay to rest grieving betrayed
crying never again never again
never again and again and again
crying never again and again
Scribes white flags newspapers internet
announces the peace truce cease-fire settlement
the winner brings spoils jewels cattle ornaments home
and declares it a victory negotiates treaties
while vets pilots horsemen generals
are honored with wreaths pins statues memorials
all the while press poets artists historians
argue the sins and the merits and come to declare no war ever again never again
never again and again and again
no war ever and ever
ever and ever and ever and ever again
greedy for gold oil diamonds dominance
call upon god Mars Allah Hachiman
lie to the people deceive them with a cause to believe in so
Troops tribesman warriors marine cadets
raise up their spears swords rifles bayonets
go to their wives partners maidens newlyweds
say goodbye and to appease promise never to leave them
promise never again never again
never again and again and again
promise never again and again
