Why We Go to War

Coming into Baghdad at twice the speed of sound
 Destiny is calling in the air and on the ground
 Gather up your children, take a final look around
 If you live in Baghdad, time to think of leaving town
 I don't want see it on another cover page
 Another mother's anguish, another father's rage
 So while you're making history with the wars that you wage
 Try not to kill too many of the ones you're trying to save
 Tell me why we go to war
 No need to show we can
 There ain't never been no conflict
 Ever since there been no man
 Is it peace we're fighting for?
 Don't think I understand
 If the way to find it is to kill another man
 If the way to find it is to kill another man
 In the elevator, in the subway, in the can
 Everybody's talking 'bout that crazy-ass Saddam
 Must like the taste of danger trying to mess with Uncle Sam
 Support your global sheriff now, he always gets his man
 Tell me why we go to war
 No need to show we can
 There ain't never been no conflict
 Ever since there been no man
 Is it peace we're fighting for?
 Don't think I understand
 If the way to find it is to kill another man
 If the way to find it is to kill another man

 Now every barrel's loaded, it's 25 o'clock
 And all around the gulf, well you can hear a pin drop
 They said it's time for taking action, they're sick and tired of talk
 Can anybody tell me is it ever gonna stop?
 Tell me why we go to war
 No need to show we can
 There ain't never been no conflict
 Ever since there been no man
 Is it peace we're fighting for?
 Don't think I understand
 If the way to find it is to kill another man
 If the way to find it is to kill...
