Commanders go on shouting war war war
Driven by warlords men and horses running
Driven by warlords men and horses falling
Suddenly the realization dawns
Fields seeded with buddies dead
To what purpose am I running
John maned Frankie a bullet in head
Why is destiny so cruel to man
Armor in hand to kill or be dead
My son an orphan
My wife a widow
In mother’s heart a wound
I hear cannons blasting
Commanders go on shouting war war war
Driven by warlords men and horses dying
Cannons blasting
Commanders go on shouting war war war war war war war war
Hear my cry of war |
