Mankind must put an end to war

Or war will end mankind

Ask just who you are fighting for

And who's the mastermind

Question what we're doing here

How long can we sustain

The guilt that feeds upon our fear

We pass the buck but not the blame

It's easy to be bold and brave

From a thousand miles away

It's easy to pontificate

Live to fight another day

It's easy when the bullets are

An echo of a ricochet

But the quickest way to end a war

Is drop your guns and walk away

And once again we find ourselves

Upon the fields of war

It seems like all our yesterdays

Are on repeat but furthermore,

It would appear we didn't learn

The lessons from/of our past

The war we fought to end all wars

Secured a peace that didn't last

It's easy to be bold and brave

From a thousand miles away

It's easy to pontificate

Live to fight another day

It's easy when the bullets are

An echo of a ricochet

But the quickest way to end a war

Is drop your guns and walk away

War within mankind
