bombs, bombs, bombs away
don't let the children go out to play

thunder and lightning in the sky
not a cloud in sight and I don't know why

war, war, it's war again
they say one of us killed one of them

well was it I or was it you?
why must we die, for what others do?

cry, cry, cry we must
for strangers bleeding in the dust

so many fields we cannot sow
they are full of stones about to blow

we only need to get by in life
but men with guns... have raped my wife

why, why, why do they maim?
unknown children: ask their names!

bombs, bombs, bombs away
I so wish they'd go, and stay away

the death of many, for so few
who does it help? Not me or you.
