Never Been to War
Never Been to War
V1
War is dust, war is loud sound, war is boots upon the ground
But I’ve never been to war
War is miles of shifting sand, war is blood upon my hands
But I’ve never been to war
Chorus
I’ve seen it on the movie screen, I’ve heard a childless mother scream
I’ve seen the documentaries, but I’ve never been
V2
War is suffering, war is pain, war is money down the drain
War is inhuman
As you’re counting up the cost, how do you count the life that’s lost
When you’ve never been to war? (Chorus)
All is fair in love and war they say
What’s fair about them anyway? Cause war hurts, cause war hurts
And it never goes away, the wounds may heal, the hurting stays where we’ve never been.
V3
Don’t keep you wars all in one place, plan future wars in outer space
But you’ve never been to war
Fill your army with the brave, cause if you’re wealthy you get waived
And you never go to war (Chorus)
Last Chorus
You’ve seen it on the movie screen, you’ve heard a childless mother scream
You’ve seen the documentaries, but you’ve never been (Bridge)
