The version I know is by the early '80's pop/reggae singer: Eddy Grant.

According to the label, he wrote it.

The lyrics as printed on the sleeve are:

You invite me to a war party
Me no wanna go.
Everybody seem to be inviting me
To a war party
Me no wanna go
Heard about the last one
So thanks but no thank you

You killed off all the Indians
And you killed off all the slaves
But no quite
So you killed off the remains
You a look for me and I'm looking for you
I can't believe what they say about you is true
That you're a bad star just like Pharoah
You killed the children just like Pharoah
Now you send a ticket for me
It don't have R.S.V.P.

You've invited all our wise men
Many time before
To dance around your fires
And even out your scores
And when the tolls taken
Of the valiant and the brave
The only decoration is the one upon the graves

Oh no, you're a bad star just like Pharoah
You killed the children just like Pharoah
Now you send a ticket for me
A nd it don't have R.S.V.P.

Oh Lord it's a war party
Me no wanna go
Please don't send no ticket for me
No don't send no ticket. No don't send no ticket for me if don't have R.S.V.P.
