Every war ends up the same
Fought in glory or in vain
Over land or over oil
Something always ends up spoiled
Someone always ends up losing
To win is only an illusion
Fought in glory or in vain
Every war ends up the same
Well there are so called rules of war
But tell me what are those things for
Contradictions alibis
To help some justify the fight
We got satellites in space
Flying over the human race
So surely we can see life's worth
Looking back at this sweet earth
Every war is fought the same
Fought in glory or in vain
Over land or over oil
Something always ends up spoiled
Someone always ends up losing
To win is only an illusion
Fought in glory or in vain
Every war ends up the same
You don't need to hold a gun
Or prove your faith to anyone
You don't have to pick a side
All you have to do is try
If we fought as hard for peace
We might not be overseas
We might not be so divided
With our insides all collided
Every war ends up the same
Fought in glory or in vain
Over land or over oil
Something always ends up spoiled
Someone always ends up losing
To win is only an illusion
Fought in glory or in vain
Every war ends up the same
