Nobody Wins A War (feat. Jill Scott, Bilal, Anthony Hamilton, Algebra, Chrisette Michele, Shelby Johnson, Ledisi, Citizen Cope, Dwele, Chico DeBarge & Rudy Currence)

Lyrics

No one will win the war, see families only die
 And birds won't soar the sky and there'll be no sun to shine
 No country wins a war, the grass won't grow the same
 The moon won't shine at night and there's a losing fight
 Nobody wins a war
 Now what would you do, what would you say
 If you heard a bomb was headed your way?
 Where would you go, what would you bring
 If you heard a bomb was headed your way?
 Now what would you do, what would you say
 If you heard a rocket was headed your way?
 Where would you go, what would you bring?
 No soldier wins a war, see soldiers only die
 And mamas only cry just for a conscious flag to fly
 That's why nobody wins a war, no war is worth your life
 See that's a priceless pride, no war is worth your blood
 Nobody wins a war
 Now what would you do, what would you say
 If you heard a bomb was headed your way?
 Where would you go, what would you bring
 If you heard a bomb was headed your way?
 Now what would you do, what would you say
 If you heard a rocket was headed your way?
 Where would you go, what would you bring
 Tell me who would you pray to?
 Now what would you do, what would you say
 If you heard a bomb was headed your way?
 Where would you go, what would you bring
 If you heard a bomb was headed your way?
 Now what would you do, what would you say
 If you heard a rocket was headed your way?
 Where would you go, what would you bring?
 No one wins a war
 No one wins a war, no one wins
 No one wins a war
 No one wins a war, no one wins
 No one wins a war
 No one wins a war, no one wins
 No one wins a war
 No one wins a war, no one wins
 No one wins a war
 Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
 Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
 Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
 Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
 Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
 Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
 Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
 Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
 Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
 Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
 Nobody wins a war, nobody wins a war
 Nobody wins a war
 We, the people speak, speak
 We want to be free of this sick bureaucracy
 No more death tolls with our morning coffee
 Oh, government, you have lost your feeling for life
 It is war that you reap
 But the loss is too great and the pain is too deep
 The scars do not heal
 Your system is thoughtless and your vision is weak
 Your actions are hurtful
 You never find what you seek
 You make the sky a storm
 You destroy the earth, make possibilities bleak
 Your lies are your destruction, your justice stinks
 Your pride is maniacal, you are the bearer of grief
 Your win is shallow, your truth is oblique
 Your patriotism is garbage, it rots and it reeks
 Of death in the wind, the foul stench of men
 Basking in their cruelty, rejoicing in their sin
 You give up and give over so easily to the darker side
 Because of your pride, you risk all of humanity
 You send my children to murder human beings
 Families they do not yet know, people they have never seen
 You send my children to war
 Without exasperating dialogue to get to the meat
 An equal understanding, as if there isn't even a possibility for peace
 But there is always a possibility for peace
 As un-perfect as we are, we should in all ways reach
 Deep, deep down in our beings
 Oh, this wicked, wicked system of things
 As our grandmothers say
 Will soon be no more, will soon be no more
 Because nobody, no one ever wins a war
