lyrics

Why does this war go on?
The argument is so far gone.
Year after year, why does this war go on?

Why is your anger strong?
The one you fight has done you no wrong.
As the decades roll, why does this war roll on?

I understand ambivalence,
Fearing an unknown.
But if you let an ignorance
Identify your life,
So much you'll never know.

Centuries carry on
And this ragged old war grows on so long.
Why accept so easily
This pain that could be gone?

Why accept so easily
The pain that could be gone?
