War Games

 

Standing all alone in this cold dark world

Searching for the source, these mindless games

The sun is cooling down, it’s energy is all used up

The coulds are growing darker, the wind is at an end

The food is growing short, nothing else will grow

This haze upon the land, stopping all it can…..

 

Chorus

War games when will it ever end, destroying all that stands

Re-build destroy again

The enemy is the enemy within

To love to hate, the joy of terrifying fear

Terrifying fear

 

Nuclear explosions a hundred count this year

Are tearing up the land we love, are your children here

There’s no space to get away from all this devastation

No place to hide no place to run just me and my frustration

 

Chorus

War games when will it ever end, destroying all that stands

Re-build destroy again

The enemy is the enemy within

To love to hate, the joy of terrifying fear

Terrifying fear

 

Living in this material world, will no longer be

For all our prized possessions can’t help our destiny

Why can’t peace be a solution, not every leader cares to see

A clear blue day

 

Chorus

War games when will it ever end, destroying all that stands

Re-build destroy again

The enemy is the enemy within

To love to hate, the joy of terrifying fear

Terrifying fear

War seen from a true hippies eyes. Did the lens in your rose colored glasses crack like mine did? War is as atrocious today as it was during Vietnam. Peace will always be sought and the one tin soldier will always ride away. You did a great job telling of the destruction wrought by the act of war. Keep singing my friend this song can never be sung too much. May the world find peace within itself before the fatal destuction occurs.
