War Is Not Healthy

War is not healthy for adults and children
It scars and it maims, it blames and it kills them
War is not healthy, but no one should claim
The pain that's inflicted could be worth the gain

It's money in the pockets of the armament makers
It's fame and it's glory for the generals and dictators
It's terror and shame and real human suffering
For the ones you love most are the ones who have nothing

It's democracy (it's democracy)
It's lunacy (it's lunacy)
It's history (it's history)
It's victory
War is not healthy for adults and children
War is not healthy for adults and children

It's armchair warriors sucking their gums
It's merchants of horror polishing guns
It's praising the troops and waving the flag
It's widows and orphans carrying the bag

It's democracy (it's democracy)
It's lunacy (it's lunacy)
It's history (it's history)
It's victory (it's victory)
War is not healthy for adults and children
I said war is not healthy for adults and children

Your head down
Democracy
It's lunacy
Listen to me

Listen up

War is not healthy for adults and children
It scars and it maims, it blames and it kills them
War is not healthy, but no one should claim
The pain that's inflicted could be worth the gain

War is not healthy for adults and children
Hell no
War is not healthy for adults and children
Listen here

Yeah
