A D The generals may know all about war, but war is all they know. D G So take it with a grain of salt when the generals say, "Let's fight!" Em A A But when the generals say it's time for peace, the chances are they're right. When the pacifists say it's time for peace, you know they might be wrong There comes a day when you have to fight, 'though you'd rather get along You can't make everything go away by wishing with all your might But when the generals say it's time for peace, the chances are they're right G D Maybe a dozen folks want this war A D Only half of them know what for G D They won't do the fighting, they don't know how E7 A Pity they're all in the White House now When the songwriters tell you what to think, don't bother to listen long The only thing they know for sure is how to write a song So think for yourself: who dies? who prospers every time we fight? When the generals say it's time for peace, the chances are they're right Peace, Charley Noble |

The song was written by Zeke Hoskins of Bellingham, Wash., and animated by my old Seattle friend, songwriter/guitarist extraordinaire, Marc Hoffman, who also plays mandolin on it. Aloha, Mark |
