THE LAST WAR
Danny Howe
At twelve last night we had our last war
We're never gonna have one anymore
Bombs were falling rapidly
From sea to shining sea
People were dying everywhere
They died so senselessly
Oh look at Mother Russia now
She's a wasted mass of land
And the good old USA
You'll find her buried in the sand
At twelve last night we had our last war
Never gonna have one anymore
The soldiers did their duty
For a land that lost its form
The soldiers did their duty
They were told to fight alone
Oh someone get the children
Put their parents by their side
Someone get the others
Who's lives were denied
At twelve last night we had our last war
Never gonna be one anymore
Bombs were falling rapidly
From sea to shining sea
Mankind never did achieve
Peace and unity
Oh look at Mother Russia now
She's a wasted mass of land
And the good old USA
You'll find her buried in the sand
Good old Africa hasn't got a friend
Good old Israel hasn't got a land
Good old Europe hasn't got a man.
