Lyrics

Who’s Gonna Stop the War?
Verse 1
There’s murder in the fields, crying in the night
Nowhere left to run, only room to fight.
So who’s gonna stop the war? (Where’s our family?)
Who’s gonna bury the children? (When will we be free)
Who’s gonna stop the war? (When will we be free)
and put an end... to all the killing (Who are we, who are we, who are we...)
Verse 2
There’s babies shooting guns, with hatred in their eyes
Never knowing love, they feed on vicious lies.
So who’s gonna stop the war? (Don’t take away our dreams)
Who’s gonna save the future? (All we need is love)
Who’s gonna stop the war? (What does fearless mean?)
and put an end... to all this shame.
Bridge to end
Love is blind so they say... so help the children see
How to live in a world at peace
Set them free, set them free.
Stop the war!
(No more Vietnam. No Cambodia)
Who’s gonna save the planet?
(Nazi Germany, Murder in Bosnia)
Who’s gonna stop the war?
(Middle east massacre. African genocide)
And put an end... to all this killing.
(Riots in Belfast. Riots in Beijing)
Put an end... to all this shame. (Stop the war!)
