[Verse 1] How can I go to war If there is no car to use? I’m not going to walk all way To the line in these old shoes My captain says, “Be ready” But my feet say, “No, not today” I got a plan in my pocket And it’s looking very brave [Pre-Chorus] Left foot, right foot That’s a long, long march My chest says “charge” My calves say “ouch” [Chorus] No car to war! No car to war! How can I go? How can I go? No car to war! No car to war! Just give me wheels Or let me go [Verse 2] I tried the bike from Eddie It had one bent-up chain The wheel made a sound like trouble Then it fell in the drain Mama waved from the window Said, “Baby, you’ll be late” I saluted with a sandwich And I put my pride on plate [Pre-Chorus] Left foot, right foot That’s a long, long march My chest says “charge” My calves say “ouch” [Chorus] No car to war! No car to war! How can I go? How can I go? No car to war! No car to war! Just give me wheels Or let me go [Bridge] (Male) If I can’t roll, I stall (Female) If you can’t roll, you crawl? (Male) I do not crawl for glory (Female) Then who will tell your story? (Male) Maybe I’ll take the bus (Female) That is a bold new trust (Male) I’m still a brave old man (Female) With a very tiny plan [Final Chorus] No car to war! No car to war! How can I go? How can I go? No car to war! No car to war! Just give me wheels Or let me go No car to war! No car to war! (I’d rather wait) (I’d rather wait)
