To End All War
War's the story, war to be told
These tales of its totality
War's a hurry, war grows old
Violence and mortality
Violence and immorality
Remember standing in the cold
Protesting another war
Protest this war, protest that war
The wars for evermore
War for killing, war for greed
War to test young men
War for glory, war for gold
Everybody killing then
Everybody's thanking them
Chorus
We took umbrellas in the rain
To protest another war
Never mind, it's not your time
Wait 'til world war four
The war to end all wars
Chorus
We used to fight for hunting grounds
Then for fields of wheat
Now it's fields of oil and gas
But always for water sweet
It's always for a place to sleep
Chorus
A war will end all wars
