2003 there was a war
between Iraque and America.
Children dying in the street
Mr. Bush, did this indeed.
Another place another war,
child soldiers in Africa.
Boys are used to kill someone
with every shot there youth was gone.
REFRAIN:
I hate war
pictures of the persecution
why can’t you agree
I hate war
pictures of the persecution
why can’t you agree
I hate to see
the impressions are following me.
Everyday another shock,
people being killed and robbed.
Even if they try to flee,
scared for life, is what they’ll be.
They have to carry on the fear
but still a little hope is near.

I hate war

In the cities of our countryside
you might think there are no fights.
But you will have to see
that violence is always near
Does someone listen to my words?
how many people will be hurt?
there is a little time left
let’s turn around and leave this track.
REFRAIN:
I hate war
