The causes of conflict are many, but the impacts are always the same.
lyrics
Take these hands, that’s war
Take these lands, that’s war
Make these demands, that’s war
Kill a man, that’s war
Take these feet, that’s war
Not enough to eat, that’s war
Turn rain to heat, that’s war
Living in defeat, that’s war
Times could not be stranger
When we’re living like lone rangers
We're all in danger
And That’s War
Take my eyes, that’s war
Take this disguise, that’s war
Smoke fills the skies, that’s war
A child dies, that’s war
Times could not be stranger
When we’re living like lone rangers
We're all in danger
And, That’s War
Oh-oo-oh-oo oh-ee-oh
oh-oo-oh-oh
Step on that stage, that’s war!
Heart filled with rage, that’s war!
How many paid?, that’s war!
The killing age, that’s war!
Times could not be stranger
When we’re living like lone rangers
Time is passing faster than before, been
Looking for the opening and endlessly refocusing
No more...
Take my voice, that’s war
Feed me noise, that’s war
Take my choice, that’s war
Hmm, girls & boys, that’s war
