The Last War Song

Written by Billy Burnette.
Oh go now and tell the world about it
Stop this show now
There's too few here to die
We don't want war now
Just go on out and shout it
We've tried so many times to change directions
We've even tried some peaceful demonstrations
I wish this could be
Oh, I wish this could be the last war song
Well I just don't know
Leaders never listen
To anyone you know
They have so many reasons
Telling you the score
And make it sound confusing
Have a war trying to earn your perfection
I wish I could just lose all connection
I wish this could be
I wish this could be the last war song
