War or Peace PL

VERSE 1 I was born in '47, the world was still in pain Two years before saw the end of a way That no one wanted to occur again For some came reconstruction, For others new homelands And a chance to abide in a new lifestyle Where worldwide peace would reign VERSE 2 The slogan in the sixties was 'Lets make love not war', And with placards for peace the fighting ceased As the changes hit the nation's core This made the the Gun Hoe's restless, No profit is made from peace So the back room boys and their sinister toys Set about changing the score CHORUS After all this fighting, do we understand what we've done? We claim we're the good guys, And that we've not harmed anyone But the bombs and the mines that maim Are made in the USA And our interference in other people's fights, Why they've turned on us today VERSE 3 Though peace became a catch cry, The fighting never ceased In Russia, the Baltic, China, Korea, South East Asia and the Middle East And soon the rich got richer, At the expense of the many poor And while the self made righteous squandered power, The oppressed were keeping score CHORUS After all this fighting, do we understand what we've done? We claim we're the good guys, And that we've not harmed anyone But the bombs and the mines that maim Are made in the USA And our interference in other people's fights, Why they've turned on us today VERSE 4 Time to stop the fighting And bring the troops back home Why wage a war when the only score Is the toll of innocent lives Time to stop the talking and communicate instead For whatever we've gained for our effort and pain The innocent end up dead Outro The innocent end up dead, The innocent end up dead
