Lay Your Weapons

Homeslice! Can't you learn from history?
Ain't no reason big enough to resort to World War III.
They put a helmet on your head and a rifle in your hands,
And send you off to kill your brother in his native land.
And I say...
Lay Your Weapons Down!
I can't go on this way
Oh no! It's really up to us now, brothers.
You can make it happen,
Got to put an end to war today!
Come on! Can't you see that it's insane?
To murder for your country or to play their deadly game.
We've got to try to comprehend
The man inside your gunsight could have been your finest friend.
And I say...
Lay Your Weapons Down!
I can't go on this way
Oh no! It's really up to us now, brothers.
You can make it happen,
Got to put an end to war today!
So you say you love your country
And that you'll fight to keep it free
How can you love a freedom
That stands for death and inhumanity!
Lay Your Weapons Down!
I can't go on this way
Oh no! It's really up to us now, brothers.
You can make it happen,
Got to put an end to war today!
