COMPOSITION & LYRICS
Margo Guryan
Songwriter
Lyrics
Wars, kill, guns, hate, hurt, harm, dead
Bomb, fire, burn are four-letter words
Beat, take, hide, slay, raid, sleep, lead
Fear, weep, maim are four-letter words
Four-letter words
Dirty words when they mean what they say
For better words
What we need is a far better way
Love, give, fair, just, feel, help, true
Hope, save, care, are four-letter words, too
