Lyrics

[Verse 1]
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And I heard the bangin' on hearts and fingers (War)
[Verse 2]
People fill the world with narrow confidence
Like a child at birth, a man with no defense
What's mine's my own, I won't give it to you
No matter what you say, no matter what you do
[Verse 3]
Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me?
[Verse 4]
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And I heard the banging on hearts and fingers (War)
[Verse 5]
Man is far behind in the search for something new
Like a Philistine, we're burning witches too
This world of fate must be designed for you
It matters what you say, it matters what you do
[Verse 6]
Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me?
[Verse 7]
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And I heard the banging on hearts and fingers (War)
[Verse 8]
War, war, war, war, war
War, war, war, war, war
War, war, war, war, war
War, war, war, war, war
War, war, war, war, war
War, war, war, war, war
[Verse 9]
After the bird has flown
Walked ten thousand miles back home
Can't do that to me, no
You can't do that to me
You can't do that to me, no
You can't do that to me
[Verse 10]
War
War
[Verse 11]
In this heart of mine, I'll find a place for you
For black or white, for all the children too
Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me?
[Verse 12]
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And I heard the banging on hearts and fingers
[Verse 13]
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
(No more war, say no more war, say war, I said war)
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
(Said no more war, say no more war, say war)
And I heard the banging on hearts and fingers
[Verse 14]
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
(Say no more war, I said no more war)
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
(Senso hant-ai, senso hant-ai, say no more war, said no more)
And I heard the banging on hearts and fingers
[Verse 15]
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
(No more war, say no more war, no more war)
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
(And no more war, war, I said no more war)
And I heard the banging on hearts and fingers
