War oh war When will it be over (oh will it ever be over) War oh war My people I wonder Oh see they pass with their bullets and their guns Terrorise civilians just for fun Small villages are victims of bombs And cities are burnt to the ground So many bodies lying in the streets Oh many starving with nothing to eat Which of my children do I choose to feed Oh we say never Yet we repeat War oh war When will it be over (oh will it ever be over) War oh war My people I wonder See the riches of the country are dug from underground But no water no light no good roads in town 1 percent of population hold the key while Licking the sweat from our backs and drinking the wine Run run run before it falls from the sky They tell you make you run run run But there's nowhere to hide War oh war When will it be over (Will it ever be over) War oh war My people I wonder (Said I wonder now) War oh war When will it be over (oh will it ever be over) War oh war My people I wonder Stop all the fighting in Syria Stop all the fighting in Gaza Will it ever be over
