歌词
It's fear that provokes nuclear war
Fear that fuels the arms race
America seeks to stay in front
Russia won't fall behind
Although each side can destroy the other many times over
Both refuse to call a halt
It is in Europe where NATO plans to
Counter a theoretical Soviet assault
With nuclear weapons if necessary
Flexible response, it's called
We depend for our export trade
Upon selling one thousand two hundred
Million pounds worth a year of arms
It's not just the biggest epidemic of our times
But it won't be cured until the patient recognizes that he's sick
We're looking for a better world but what do we see?
Just hatred, poverty, aggression, misery
So much money spent on war
When the users of the world are so helplessly poor
Major General Despair sits at his desk
Planning a new mode of attack
He's quite unconcerned about chance or risk
'Cause Major Generals are hard nuts to crack
Ah, yes, in his eyes a cruise missile
Tactically sound, operationally okay
While the starving crawl down to the death pile
They contemplate their fate another day
Attack on the mind, massive costly defence
I'll ask you again, who's it for?
To the starving millions who don't stand a chance
Undepressed by a stupid war
Babies living in hunger before they can walk
Mothers with dry breasts cry dried tears
And meanwhile Major General Despair gives a talk
On increasing the war budget only years
How can they do it, these men of steel?
How can they block destruction's pain?
Is it the only way they can feel?
Fuckin' again and again
It's the part of themselves that has died
That makes them the man as they do
Or is it us that is dead
'Cause we sit and hide from the responsibility as though they do?
There's so many of us yet left to make their way
At this moment they've blown the planet
We've got to rise up and take their power away
To save the world that they're ruining
And destroying the world they make a field
As they're planning the mutilation
They've got responsibility, millions to feed
And yet still they bet on destruction
Generals and politicians
Rampant wars, humanoids raped and killed for fear
Those should have been sleepless nights
Shouldn't be fearing a 5:02 entry
Crawling the death pit
They'll find the truth and when it's done
They'll mess with corpses, stain the climate
Hide the skulls of innocent men
And see the truth of military
Throw their homes away in the end
Freeze time, the grass and the trees
These bastards of war what they care
Only to end human beings
They'll work with war as they strip it away
From kids and their mothers' pride
They'll cover their codes and dig their graves
And put the millions that died
Destroy what many couldn't see
Decay made life a part of fear
Destroy of man's grandeur
Oh, they say they really wouldn't care
We do care, it's our home
They've been at it too long
If it's the fight they want, it's beginning
Throughout history we've been expected
To sing their dying song
But now it's our turn to leave the singing
Fight war, not wars, make peace, not war
Fight war, not wars, we know you've heard before
Fight war, not wars, make peace, not war
Fight war, not wars, make peace, not war
Fight war, not war, make peace, not war
Fight war, not war, make peace, not war
One, two, three, four, we don't want your fucking war
One, two, three, four, we don't want your fucking war
One, two, three, four, we don't want your
Fucking war (We don't have civilization anymore)
One, two, three, four, we don't want your
Fucking war (We have a state of barbarism)
One, two, three, four, we don't want your fucking
War (A state of barbarism in which we are)
One, two, three, four, we don't want your fucking
War (Dated, out of it, threatening to annihilation)
One, two, three, four, we don't want your fucking
War (Now, looking at you, I know one thing)
One, two, three, four, we don't want your
Fucking war (We can win, we can win)
(We are prisoners within that reality until we create our own)
