(We Won't) Stop The War

(album: Sigh No More - 1991)

So now we talk about destruction
'Bout the way that we might go
I've seen the headlines in the papers
The truth is more than we should know

Somebody wake me from this nightmare
Is this a TV horror show?
We can run and we can walk
We can sit and we can talk
But we won't stop the war oh no

Silent whispers in the ice-machine today
Calling for my brain in silent ways
No more changes in this world in which we live in
And I don't know who the guy is
Who's talking with the friendly grin

I never heard of any bargain
I don't know what's going on
We can shout and we can pray
It doesn't matter anyway
We won't stop the war oh no

Somehow I might go insane
Somehow I might lose my brain
Somehow I might not even care
And somehow I never ever willing to accept the way
That things are going

We can run and we can walk
We can sit and we can talk
But we won't stop the war oh no
We won't stop the war oh no
