Why Go to War - William Onyeabor

Why go to war, why not find peace?

In this world

All blacks and whites all over the world, I’m asking

All blacks and whites all over the world answer me

Why go to war when you know there should be peace

Why go to war when you know you need peace

You just want another guy to stop a bullet for you

But you’ll never, never want to stop a bullet for another guy

Why go to war, why not find peace

All blacks and whites all over the world, I’m calling on you

Leaders, all nations, super powers

Tell me… why you like to go to war

Every time war

You want small boys to die for you

Innocent souls are killed every day

Tell me why you like war

You want another guy to stop a bullet for you

But you’ll never like to stop a bullet

For another guy

Why go to war why not find peace?
