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 that 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 goin' 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



We won't stop the war.
