Mankind must put an end to war Or war will end mankind Ask just who you are fighting for And who's the mastermind Question what we're doing here How long can we sustain The guilt that feeds upon our fear We pass the buck but not the blame It's easy to be bold and brave From a thousand miles away It's easy to pontificate Live to fight another day It's easy when the bullets are An echo of a ricochet But the quickest way to end a war Is drop your guns and walk away And once again we find ourselves Upon the fields of war It seems like all our yesterdays Are on repeat but furthermore, It would appear we didn't learn The lessons from/of our past The war we fought to end all wars Secured a peace that didn't last It's easy to be bold and brave From a thousand miles away It's easy to pontificate Live to fight another day It's easy when the bullets are An echo of a ricochet But the quickest way to end a war Is drop your guns and walk away War within mankind
