Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Check out the real situation
Nation war against nation
Where did it all begin?
When will it end?
[Verse 2]
Well, it seems like
Total destruction, the only solution
And there ain't no use
No one can stop them now
Ain't no use
Nobody can stop them now
[Verse 3]
Give them an inch, they take a yard
Give them a yard, they take a mile (Ooh)
Once a man, and twice a child
And everything is just for a while
[Verse 4]
It seems like
Total destruction, the only solution
And there ain't no use
No one can stop them now
There ain't no use
No one can stop them now
There ain't no use
No one can stop them now
There ain't no use
No one can stop them now
[Verse 5]
Check in the real situation (Check it out, check it out)
(Check it out, check it out)
Nation fight against the nation
Where did this all begin? Whoa, oh, oh
Where will it end?
[Verse 6]
Well, it seem like
Total destruction, the only solution
Ooh, no use
Can't stop them
Ain't no use
I can't stop them
Ain't no use
(No one) Can stop them now
Can't stop them now
(No one can stop them now)
[Verse 7]
Ain't no use
No one gonna (Can) stop them now
[Verse 8]
Everybody strugglin'
Ain't no use
Ain't no use
Ain't no use
To even try
Ain't no use
Got to say bye, bye
Ain't no use
Ain't no, ain't no use
No one's gonna (No one can) stop them now
(No one can stop them now)
(No one can stop them now)
