Album: We Don't Need To Whisper

wedontneed"The War" is the fourth single released from the debut album of Angels & Airwaves, We Don't Need to Whisper. It was the third single for both the US and UK, but was the fourth single released, since "Do It for Me Now" was the second single for the US and "It Hurts" was the second single for the UK. Tom DeLonge has described this song as anti-war, with specific references to the Invasion of Normandy in World War II.
Although "The War" never received an official music video, a short film and a live video were released.
"The War" was released as a radio promo single only, but the disk for the single can be bought on various websites.
It is the theme song for the MTV reality football show Two-A-Days.
The song also was a popular theme that appeared throughout the 2006 College World Series. - en.wikipedia
The ocean, is on fire
The sky turned dark again
As the boats came in
And the beaches
Stretched out with soldiers
With their arms and guns
It has just begun

Believe, you want this
Believe, I want this too

Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this?
Tear my head
Inside out

And the houses
Laid out like targets
With the deafening sound
We watched them all go down
And the families
Now useless bodies
They lay still black and blue
A gift from us to you

Believe, you want this
Believe, I want this too

Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this?
Tear my head
Inside out

Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh (Believe)
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh (Believe, you want this too)
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh

Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this?
Tear my head
Inside out

Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this?
Tear my head
Inside out

Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
