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 them banging On hearts and fingers People fill the world With narrow confidence Like a child at birth A man with no defense What’s mine is my own I won’t give it to you No matter what you say No matter what you do Now we’re fighting In our hearts Fighting in the street Won’t somebody help me? 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 them banging On hearts and fingers 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 Now we’re fighting In our hearts Fighting in the street Won’t somebody help me? 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 them banging On hearts and fingers After the bird has flown He walked ten thousand Miles back home You 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 Now we’re fighting In our hearts Fighting in the street Won’t somebody help me? 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 them banging On hearts and fingers
