Mothers die and babies cry
And the war goes on
A country's fate when brothers hate
And the war goes on
Amputies and refugees
And the war goes on
When will it end the devil's den
And the war goes on
Something's got to change.

World war one the Gatlin gun
And the war goes on
World war two they gassed many Jews
And the war goes on
The atom bomb and Vietnam
And the war goes on
Nine a eleven dead men at 27
And the war goes on
Something's got to change

Corrupt magistrates, trying to get thru heavens gates
And the war goes on
They can't get in, too much sin,
And the war goes on
Poor people shout, were throwing things out
And the war goes on
Homeless in the streets, begging at peoples feet
And the war goes on
Somethings got to change

Iraq, Iran, Pakistan
And the war goes on
Terrorist plots, Arabian yachts
And the war goes on
Poverty and aids, rebels and renegades
And the war goes on
World war three and still no body free
And the war goes on
Somethings got to change
Maybe it's you and me
