Declaring peace

Whisper the words of wisdom no more
Speak the words of wisdom no more
Shout the words of wisdom no more
The governments of the world agree
That people need bombs and banks and barriers
Harriers, tanks, and aircraft carriers to carry us to war
To drop it at my front door
But if no one pulled a trigger then no one would get shot
If no one made the bombs, no one would get blown up
If nobody believed in stinking countries
There wouldnt be any territories to fight over
If nobody held money as sacred
Thered be food for all, not just those who cant afford it
And if nobody voted for a government
They wouldnt have the right to make people fight
But first they treat us like were nobody, no one
Then its join britains fight, be someone--bomb someone
But dead were no more than dust on the floor
Of the next generation
Who are marching as to war
But no more war, we wont go away
cause no more war is something weve got to say
No more war, we can try to make the fighting cease
No more war, advertise for peace
No more war, I know its easier said than done
But we can make a start by declaring peace
No more war, look I know its easier said than done
But we can make a start by declaring peace
By declaring peace
Just remember in 1982 when the falklands war was happening
The new musical express didnt say a word about it
